Sedum

Sedums are succulent plants ranging in height from 2 inches to 2 feet. They bear yellow to pink flowers and prefer full sun and sandy loam soil but do adapt to other soil types. The flowers attract bees and butterflies. The plants are drought resistant and adapt to poor soil.
Cuttings of various types may be used for propagation. Stem sections or leaves are allowed to callus while exposed to air for a few days. They can then be rooted in sand.

'Autumn Joy', This very tough late summer through fall blooming perennial has become a worldwide favorite for both its beauty and ease of maintenance. The flowers begin showing a broccoli green color during summer. As the summer progresses, the flowers become pinker until they turn a beautiful russet tone by fall. The seedheads can be left on the plants for winter color. They add attractive texture in a snow-covered garden.
