The Autumn Fire Sedum should find a place in every garden, it is such a fabulous addition to fall. For weeks the large flower heads change from bright pink to the richest of reds, as the nights cool. From spring onwards, the blue-green foliage, tipped with red, is always attractive, and so are the green flower heads as they develop. No plant is more useful for fall coloring and it has a particular affinity for ornamental grasses, which also look great in fall. It is perfect for edging beds, filling rock gardens, decorating walls and slopes, and even in planters for late color. It is also very attractive to bees and many butterflies.
Always plant the Autumn Fire Sedum in full sun for the best growth. This tough plant will grow in any soil that isn’t always wet, from rocky gravels to heavy clays. It is unaffected by cold winters or hot summers, and untroubled by deer or rabbits. Pests and disease almost never bother it, and it just takes an annual cutting back of the stems in fall or early spring to keep it always perfect.
