Sedum 'Autumn Joy' is just beginning to show a tinge of pink in our Children's ABC Garden. As it matures, the pink color will deepen and eventually turn a coppery color. The flower heads may be left standing over the winter for some textural interest. As with all sedums, well drained soil is a must. But other than that, little care is needed for this consistent performer. In the early summer you can pinch back the tips to reduce the height and make a fuller plant. However, the bloom will be smaller and later. If left alone, it may reach 2 feet in height and have a little flop. It is also a butterfly magnet.
