Julia Powell on May 11, 2014i just looked up sedum and although i believe this is a close relative i don't think this is it.... sedum grows to about 6 in high and this thing is about 14 in high and still growing.. i do know it had some tall stalks that grew out of it last year with some kind of flower on top... i didn't get to see this part alive because i moved here in january... i will post a better picture in a minute.Helpful Reply

Pam Park on May 11, 2014former, older neighbor called it live forever ... you can pinch off the stems to delay flowering. It is easily divided with a spade [but then certainly shorten the stalks to allow it time to adjust in new environs]Helpful Reply

Lori on May 11, 2014This is Sedum Autumn Joy. It's a perennial that flowers in the fall with reddish pink blooms and is great fall color. It does attract honey bees so while that will be good for your other plants be careful where you plant it. I just moved mine from the front walkway since it bothered some people as they would walk by. But it's very pretty and drought tolerant!Helpful Reply

Connie B on May 11, 2014Enjoy your sedum & if you want more of them, just break off a stalk a 2 - 3" long and stick it in the ground. Rooting is a snap!Helpful Reply

Lori J on May 12, 2014Looks like it needs to be divided. They are rapid spreaders....but the flower heads will drag and fall out from the center when overly tight.Helpful Reply
