AvonelleRed on Sep 30, 2014My son has one of those, but I can't recall the name of it, sorry. It has lasted and thrived in an area of the yard where nothing else ever really grew.Helpful Reply

Linda Hopper on Sep 30, 2014It's a sedum. I love that plant! I have it in lots of pots as well as in the ground. It survives drought, freeze, pets, and small children. LOL If a piece breaks off just stick it in a pot or the ground. I think the one pictured is called Autumn Joy. Love, love, love this plant.Helpful Reply

Carole on Sep 30, 2014If there is anyone else in your family that would like a piece of your mom's plant - then do what Linda Hopper suggests, take a small piece and pop it into a pot and it will grow. A good way of spreading the love!Helpful Reply

The Garden Frog with C Renee on Sep 30, 2014As dark as the blooms are getting I would also venture to say it could be Autumn Joy Sedum which is a very popular and common fall blooming perennial. Dividing this plant is easy and in the ground will grow rather large. I love this plantHelpful Reply

Linda Hopper on Sep 30, 2014These pictures were taken last year. I have several of the Autumn Joy but I'm not sure what this one is called. A dear friend gave me the start over 20 years ago. The Autumn Joy has a more rounded flower head where this one has a flat flower head?Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Oct 01, 2014I am pretty sure it is a type of Sedum spectabile, of which "Autumn Joy" is one cultivar. "Brilliant" has a much flatter flower head than "Autumn Joy," and it is possible yours is an unnamed variety.Helpful Reply

Connie B on Oct 01, 2014Love my Sedum.....heat, dry, wet, cold, cold below 0, mine has survived. I especially love the red! Hubby swears if I'll just lay it on the driveway, it'll survive......not quite.Helpful Reply

Suzette Trimmer on Oct 05, 2014I am still giggling after having read Pattylawhon's response."Can't kill" I grew up knowing it only as" NEVER DIE"...not sure which phrase fits better since both are true as they are funny. This plant is the go to plant for those with black thumbs ....because it's a Can't Kill, Never Die plant.Helpful Reply

Suzette Trimmer on Oct 06, 2014Thank you for the pleasant conversation exchange. While here wanted to mention or ask about the various types of these so called" Can't Kills-Never Die's, & Live Forever's." I have quite a few varieties growing at the stables this year. Noticing some can grow as Tall as four feet high, this I have never seen before. Tall thick stemmed and same flowering top as my smaller round versions. My new Tall ones grow and then due to their top heaviness simply topple over. Does anyone here know whether or not I should have planted them differently are they normal and if so what are these tall verity called? They break not only my heart but also their breaking off as they topple over . I stick ends in root hormone right away and then another bush emerges almost instantaneously. Thank you anyone with an idea .Helpful Reply

Suzette Trimmer on Oct 07, 2014Thank you Douglas for chiming in.I always appreciate your unique insight. However; Mine really are growing this tall. At first considered them possible Joe Pye's due to the tops. Yet the stems are unmistakeably thick water filled sedum thick leathery leaves and bright tight/dense, pink bud heads and flowers. Now the tallest I measured this morning are 38" to 42" tall from base to top of cluster. I was wondering and asking because they look so good till the blossom become full and then they all fall to a spread out plant with the center exposed and the flowers all layout in a circular pattern. Not Pretty. My Gerber daisy's are doing the same exposing the bark center and all the pretty white w/ yellow centers, are like a pile of pick up sticks left to fall from center. Big circular mess. I have used the green circular garden rings , to no avail they do not in large enough sizes. And yes, I have separated all these plants each season, they are just genetic giants.Helpful Reply
