My autumn joy sedum grows like a weed.I have transplanted mine in flower beds all over my yard and have given starts to neighbors and friends. I don't think you can kill it.Love it.
I bought my first Autumn Joy maybe 30 yrs ago, after reading an article in Better Homes & Gardens titled: “Good plants for a shade garden”! Hmmm. Also, I give mine a “haircut” a couple of times in early summer. Ending on July 4. Prevents the long leggy stems.
my husband one time pass by with a lawn mower, my heart stops.. the following year it came back and healthier.. and even replanted it.. they are really tough..
It's July here in the USA zone 7. My A J Sedum gets huge. They have so many blooms, not yet pink, still green flower heads. Can they be cut back now? I ask because they get so heavy and fall down. They are very hardy. I love them and all the bees they attract.
Hi Deborah! 👋 Thank you for watching and your suggestion for taking Autumn Joy cuttings. We will have to try that and see how fast they root for us. 😁👍
Hi Spoken Garden! I just bought three small plants and it has been raining a lot in London. There is not much sun these days. I was planning to put them under a wooden stair to protect them from the rain until winter pass. My are Sedum Sieboldii - Hylotelephium. Any advice please! Thank you!
Hi Mrs. Velasco! 👋 Wow, that's great you bought your sedum's! Amazing plants to add to your garden. It's interesting the similarities between London's weather and Tacoma's weather. Both have lots of rain, cloudy days ⛅, some temp extremes of cold and heat, and our share of sunny days 🌞. Our sedums do great here, even with all our rain, cloudiness, and freezing temps. Sedums in general like full sun locations with 6+ hours total of sun, along with well draining, fertile soil. They will thrive being planted in rock gardens and along borders of beds. Try to keep them in sunny locations, BUT if smaller plants that are still in pots, keep them protected during the cold weather by having them up close to your home or a building for residual heat. You can also "heal" them in with mulch to protect their roots. We will have a new video about this soon, but until then, here is a link to better understand this: ua-cam.com/video/b4eUI-JxeQU/v-deo.html Hope this helps and thank you for watching and commenting! 😉😁💪
Thank you for the informative video. Question, does Autumn Joy Sedum have seeds in the flower head? If you leave them on when they die back will they self seed? Thanks so much!
Hi Susan! 👋 Thank you for saying that and for watching. 😊 To answer your questions; Yes, seeds will develop in the flowers and they can self seed under the right conditions. They will self seed here in our temperate climate in Zone 8b. We hope that helps and Happy New Year! 😎🎇👍
Hi Jody! 👋 Thank you for watching our video and for your helpful question. You can pinch them as they are starting to grow in the late spring or early summer before they develop their flower clusters. Just know that if you pinch them, they will still flower, but will take more time to grow new shoots and flowers, so flowering will be delayed and go later into the fall months. Hope that helps! 👍😊
Hi Nesacake! 👋 Thank you for watching and commenting. ☺ Interesting that you have noticed your Autumn Joys having flies instead of bees, like in years past. If you plant is in good health and you are caring for all it's needs, then probably nothing to worry about. It could be this year you just have a larger fly population compared to earlier years, or you are aware of this more now for other reasons. There could be something else attracting the flies close to your garden, too. Definitely could investigate more. Flies aren't always a bad thing. Sounds like they could be a nuisance. Hope that is helpful and you find out more. 😃
👍 thank you for the needed info info. I look forward to receiving more tips when needed

I have had this for years. It is so easy to divide and transplant. Pollinators love it

its easier to take cuttings off the autumn joy and grow in water, it roots in about 2 weeks and ready to plant in the ground!!

@@SpokenGarden Thank you...I appreciate you getting back to me. We are in zone 8a. Sedum is one of our favorites.
I live in zone 6a. When should I “pinch back” my sedum autumn joy so that it doesn’t get so leggy? Thanks!

My Autumn Joy Sedum has been loaded with bees at this time of year. Well this year they have been loaded with flies. It is in full sun. What happened?
