Amazing! I mistakenly did a duplicate order, they credited me right away! Exceptional communication. The installation crew was great. Installed with care and did a perfect job. Very happy with all aspects of my order.

Choose Autumn Joy Sedum for a sunny, dry border that needs reliable late-season color with almost no fuss; the tradeoff is that it stays a clump, so it will not cover ground like a creeping sedum.

- Your bed runs dry between rains.
- You want a perennial that mostly takes care of itself.
Skip This If

PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The broad flower heads shift from pink to rust and carry the bed when most perennials are finished. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It settles in steadily and reaches full size without a long wait. |
| Maintenance | A- | It asks for little beyond good drainage and a spring cutback; rich soil and heavy water make it flop. |
| Deer Resistance | C+ | Deer will browse the succulent growth in some yards, so it is not a first pick under heavy pressure. |
| Small Space Fit | B+ | The clump stays tidy and predictable, though it does need room to reach full width. |
| Screening Value | F | This is a border perennial and will not block views or provide privacy. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically use Autumn Joy where late color matters and watering is inconsistent. Keep the soil lean; the most common complaint we hear is flopping, and that almost always traces back to rich soil or too much water.

Customers Usually Ask
When does it bloom?
Flower heads color up in late summer and hold into fall, then dry to a rust tone.
Why does mine flop open in the middle?
Usually rich soil, too much water, or not enough sun; leaner conditions keep the clump upright.
Should I cut it back?
Leave the dried heads for winter interest if you like, then cut back in spring as new growth appears.
Why buy for fall color
- See the actual color before you buy it
- Foliage, berries and late bloom — all three seasons of interest
- Fall planting means roots established before winter
