Sedum (Stonecrop)
Color Name: Pride and Joy
A garden staple for the late summer/early fall garden. 'Pride and Joy' has an impeccable habit, serrated leaves, and blooms late summer into early fall. The dark pink flowers stand out above the dark green leaves making this sedum a must have!
This plant pairs perfectly with other fall bloomers like garden mums, asters, and Black-Eyed Susans. Try a few in containers and at the front of the border.
Growing Tips: Sedum is one of the most popular perennials grown in American gardens because it is very easy to grow and hardy in most areas of the country. Because of its thick, succulent leaves which can store water, sedum is drought tolerant. It should be sited in average to poor soil that is well-drained. Plants grown in rich soil tend to be lanky and open. Most varieties should be grown in full sun to light shade. The lower growing types, however, will survive in partial shade. This plant is not usually bothered by pests or diseases. The seed heads of the taller varieties provide excellent winter interest and food for birds. Remove them in spring when the new growth begins to show.
