Plant Information
Sedums, like Hostas and have become staples in American perennial gardens in recent years. And this one, Autumn Joy, is the one responsible. This incredible plant is now at or near the top of everyone's list of the best perennial flowers of them all. Nothing beats it for late color in the border. Photo at right: Sedums add color from midsummer through early fall, when most other flowers are waning. And Autumn Joy, particularly, lights up with bright pink to orangey flowerheads giving any garden a needed lift for a long period. Like other valuable mainstays of perennial display, the bloom lasts for weeks and weeks.
In the photo, you see Sedum Autumn Joy just behind the garden seat, and also peeking up into the photo in the foreground. This photo was taken in September, showing the great combination of this Sedum with the lovely Aster Frikarti Monch--the lush blue daisies. Also still adding color are some late coneflowers and other perennials. But the fresh color is all with the asters and the Sedum--carrying this beautiful garden into fall with full bloom.

Comments about American Meadows Autumn Joy Sedum:
I have these in two places and enjoy them immensely. They look good all through the summer and give beautiful blooms at the end of the year. Leave the flowers on all winter and in spring you'll have dried flowers to cut off and use in crafts. It's a no-fail perennial!

Q & A
Plant With These:
USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
- If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will survive the winter temperatures in your area.
- If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).

Merchant response: Greetings Gardener,
We apologize if there was any miscommunication as to the size of our perennial plants. Perennials will not grow as rapidly as annual flowers. Planted in the garden, most perennials will require 2-3 growing seasons to reach the mature size listed in the plant description. Patience, good soil preparation and attention to new transplants will reward you with much pleasure and beauty over the years! Please know your success is guaranteed and we are here to help! If you would like to learn more helpful tips and tricks to help coax your perennials to grow quicker, we encourage you to give us a call. We can be reached at -877-309-7333. Our hours are Monday-Friday 9-7 EST and 9-5 PM on Saturdays.
Happy Gardening!
