Perennial
Sedum spectabile 'Autumn Fire'
Stonecrop
Plant Type: Perennial
A tough perennial valued for spectacular late summer color and tolerance to extremely dry sites. 'Autumn Fire' is similar to the popular 'Autumn Joy' but with sturdier stems and tighter growth habit preventing flop over. A floriferous bloom of rose-pink flowers eventually mature to a deep rusty red in autumn. A great addition to the garden to add color when most perennials have finished out their floral season. Attracts butterflies and bees.
