Sedum ‘Autumn Joy’ is a classic late-summer perennial that brings structure, texture, and soft colour to the garden just when it’s needed most. Its fleshy, blue-green leaves form tidy clumps topped with broad, flat heads of pink flowers that deepen to rich copper tones as autumn approaches. Even after flowering, the seed heads provide winter interest and food for birds.
It’s drought tolerant, low maintenance, and thrives in full sun and well-drained soil — perfect for adding long-lasting colour and form to mixed borders or gravel gardens. Pair it with Nepeta ‘Six Hills Giant’ for airy contrast and Coreopsis Early Sunrise.
