"Autumn Joy" Sedum


Featured Plant of the Month   SEPTEMBER 2010

Sedum

Sedum is a diverse family of plants all of which have succulent type leaves. Some are winter hardy and will come back each spring or remain evergreen; others are just too tender to survive here in North Carolina exposed to the winter. Some Sedum are evergreen such as “Angelina” and “Blue Spruce”.  While others such as “Autumn Joy” die down to the ground as soon as frost hits them, and in spring rise back from their roots clean and fresh each year. Sedum need full sun unless otherwise noted on particular varieties. Your Sedum also needs to have very well drained soil or the stems and roots will rot.

Here are a couple varieties you may enjoy include:

  •  “Autumn Joy” having circle/ oval shaped fleshy leaves each about an inch or so around. In fall summer they are topped by pinky flat clusters of blooms. In fall as the weather chills off the foliage turns orangey. Then when frost hits them, they are done for the year, cut them back to the ground.

  • “Angelina” Sedum- Has bright yellow to chartreuse spruce like leaves. The leaves turn orangey in winter. Angelina is a ground cover type form; growing close to the ground and rooting as it goes.
