Sedum "Autumn Joy"

We are having a spectacularly beautiful day here in sunny New England!



Sedum "Autumn Joy"


Usually, my garden is still filled with late blooming flowers, not so this year. Lots of sedum and not a rose in sight. Sedum is a good backdrop for dramatic flowers, like nasturtiums that I didn't plant this year, or my roses that normally give us a last flush right about now. Maybe next September.

Sedum looks so much better indoors than the garden. The vintage Versace vase doesn't hurt either.

Cut the stems long. It makes it easy to put a large arrangement together. This one is about 26" high with a 24" diameter. Big enough for a foyer display. And cost next to nothing. Try it, you'll be surprised.

Thanks for reading,

    2. Do you strip off the leaves and then make the arrangements?

    3. I remove the leaves from the part of the stem that will be in water,
