A touch of Pink~~~~~~~~~Ruby Tuesday too

Stonecrop Sedum~~Autumn Joy

This sturdy perennial is as tough as they come. Clumping foliage displays large, plate-like flower clusters that start pink, then gracefully age to rosy russet in the fall. Seed heads add unique winter interest. A fine addition to the rock garden or mixed border. Butterfly friendly!  Bees love them too!
I have a huge clump of these beauties.  Great winter interest.

I have a yellow one that is ready to bloom even though it's still winter here in New Zealand! I can just imagine your pretty blossoms.

I love Autumn Joy Sedum --but mine hasn't done very well the past couple of years. It had been very hardy--but last year, it developed some kind of problem --and didn't bloom much. This year, it's doing better --but still not as healthy as it once was.

Hugs,
Betsy

Very nicely captured. I'll bet this plant is spectacular when it's in full bloom.

Thats a great looking plant.

The trip to the UK was great - although starting back to work this week was less so. Give me a week and I think I will be back up to speed!

WOW! I don't think mine are this far along yet. Maybe I should go outside and check. ;)

If I've seen these in a garden, I wouldn't know, but then I'm not good with plant names. Beautiful!
