How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
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.
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.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.

"I ordered 16 3” pots of Autumn Joy sedum. They arrived and they are healthy plants. I am pleased with the plants and American Meadows."
"Much smaller than I expected."
"I've had nothing but great plants from American Meadows and this is no exception. Arrived healthy and growing and took right off when planted."
"My plants arrived in perfect condition. They were easy to plant into large pots and immediately looked at home. They are thriving with no care besides the spring rain. I'm very happy with this provider and will order again."
"I planted it outside into a newly prepared area. It isn't flourishing."
"They are very awesome! Love seeing honey & bumble bees during the late summer when they flower. I do cut them down in the late fall, just great plants. Deer are a problem, we live in Northern Michigan where white tail are common -- they love to eat them. I had to fence the plants from the deer."
"Like all perennials, these take a couple of years to establish themselves in the bed. The second year, I got flowers. In the third year, the plant is flourishing. I expect the same behavior with the new plants this year. These have pretty good drought tolerance. I generally plant them, water for a couple of weeks and then leave them to nature. They do fine. #sweepstakes"
"The Autumn Joy plants have so far made it in the extreme heat we have had here in Texas. I water them every other day. Our temps have been between 105 and 110 degrees for the last two months with no rain and is to continue through at least September. I would say they are Hardy plants."
"So far 2 of my plants are very hardy. 1 is struggling, so we'll see how it survives the winter."
"it is the plants first summer . the plant has started to bud . i am thankful the hares did not eat them"
