Sedum Autumn Fire (Stonecrop)

Sedum 'Autumn Fire' (Stonecrop) is an upright, clump-forming, deciduous perennial with a striking foliage of thick, fleshy, glaucous green leaves. Blooming in late summer and fall, a profusion of showy flowerheads packed with star-shaped, bright rosy flowers are on display. They are borne on stout, upright stems and rise with majesty above the foliage clump. Both foliage and dead inflorescences remain attractive through winter, providing some additional interest. Autumn Fire is an improved form of famous Sedum 'Autumn Joy' with larger flower heads and a longer blooming season. This sun-loving perennial is ideal for containers, alpine beds, rock gardens and other hot, dry spots. Very compact, this showy sedum is perfect for small garden spaces.
