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.
“Blue
Spruce” Sedum – Similar to “Angelina” in form but has bluish grey foliage.
