Sedum 'Autumn Fire'
StonecropAn improvement over older tall sedums, this cultivar is often grown for its deeper pink flowers, stronger stems and sturdier habit that provides visual interest through the winter months. Its waxy blue-green foliage forms a dense, knee-high clump. Bronze-red seed heads provide food for birds in fall.
