AUTUMN FIRE STONECROP -
24-30 Inches Tall 24-30 Inches Wide--
Sedum spectabile 'Autumn Fire' is an improved selection of the classic 'Autumn Joy', offering a more robust habit and deeper color for the late-season garden. It is distinguished by its thick, succulent, gray-green leaves and sturdy stems that resist flopping, even under the weight of its large flower heads. In late summer, 'Autumn Fire' produces massive, flattened clusters of rosy-pink buds that gradually intensify into a rich, velvety brick-red as autumn approaches. These long-lasting blooms provide a critical nectar source for pollinators and remain attractive well after the first frost.
For the best garden performance and the strongest stems, plant 'Autumn Fire' in a location that receives full sun. It is an exceptionally rugged and drought-tolerant perennial that thrives in average to poor, well-drained soil; avoiding overly fertile soil is essential to maintaining its tight, upright form.
In the landscape, it is a versatile choice for the middle of a sunny border, as a reliable mass planting for a bold color statement, or as a structural element in rock gardens. Maintenance is very simple - leave the dried flower heads throughout the winter to provide architectural interest and a food source for birds, then cut the stems back to the ground in early spring before the new growth emerges.
