Autumn Joy Sedum

Sedum Autumn Joy grows best in lean soil with good drainage. For container plantings use a cactus potting soil like Kellogg Palm & Cactus Mix for best results. Plant in a sunny location that will get a minimum of 6 hours of full sun. The stems may become floppy if planted in a shady location.

Water deeply after planting then reduce frequency allowing the soil to dry in between waterings. Sedum Autumn Joy is a drought tolerant perennial but requires more water than most succulent plants. Overwatering will result in floppy plants.

Winter-dormant, the foliage dies back to the ground. New growth will emerge in early spring. The roots are hardy below -30℉.

Relatively maintenance free, the dried flower stalks should be removed or cut back before new growth appears in early spring. Autumn Joy grows easily in nutrient-poor soil and does not require fertilizer. Rejuvenate plants by dividing clumps every 3 to 5 years in early spring.

This Sedum cultivar is also known as ‘Herbstfreude’ which is the German word for Autumn Joy.

Q: When should I cut back Sedum Autumn Joy?
A: Autumn Joy begins to go dormant in late fall. The foliage dies back but the erect, dried flower heads and stalks remain in place. These flower stalks can be cut back in late fall for a tidy appearance. However, you can choose to cut back the dried flower stalks in early spring when the new growth begins to emerge. Choosing to leave the dried flowers in place over the winter provides a seed source for birds and attracts wildlife to your garden.

Q: Can I divide Autumn Joy Sedum clumps?
A: Yes, dig up and divide your clumps of Sedum Autumn Joy when the new growth emerges in early spring. This could reduce the amount of blooms initially but by next year the vigor and blooms will return in full force.

Q: Why is my Sedum Autumn Joy floppy?
A: Autumn Joy Sedum prefers full sun and well-drained soil. If grown in a shady location and/or overly moist soil, your Sedum Autumn Joy will become floppy. Reduce the amount of water or move to a location that gets at least 6 hours of full sun.
