Snapoutofit on Oct 20, 2016Sedum, Autumn Joy. I love this perennial and I have many of them in my yard. You can gently pull them apart front the ground and plant them because the roots are intact. In early summer before they start to bloom, they make great floral arrangement fillers.Helpful Reply

Eva Marie on Oct 20, 2016Sedum ~ they are a succulent and bloom in the fall of the year. The flowers are like a dried flower and if you cut them and put them in a vase they last a very long time. Mine have gotten thicker and bigger each year. I have my plant in the corner of a flower bed in my front yard next to the house. (facing west) so I get afternoon sunshine and it is thriving there. It comes in different colors too. I have a rust colored one and a friend of mine has a purple one. I live in Prescott Valley, AZ so we don't really start getting cold until end of October.Helpful Reply

Sta8387950 on Oct 21, 2016If you wait until spring to cut back your sedum, it will add winter interest to your landscaping. Another tip with Autumn Joy: sometimes they become "leggy" and get so tall they topple apart from the weight of their blooms. A solution to this is to cut back the plant to four or five inches tall usually before July 1. Be sure to cut right above a growth bud. This will give your plant a stockier habit that will stand together without support and it will still bloom for you in the fall!Helpful Reply

Ellie Yellowbank on Oct 21, 2016You could wait with the cutting till early spring. The flowers and stems make a nice winter display although they will of course turn brown. I've even added the cut dead stems with the flower heads in other outdoor winter/Christmas decorations. This is a very uncomplicated plant, I love them although they don't bloom till the end of summer/fall, the leaves give your planting bed/garden a nice texture.Helpful Reply

Renee Gads on Oct 21, 2016Sedum AKA "Stone Crop" & "Never Dies". These are super hardy, easy to care for and transplant. Drought and semi deer resistant. It's pretty hard to kill these. I never water them directly. If I remember to cut them its usually in fall because I'm preparing everything else for the winter. If I forget, I just break off the dead stems close ti the base in the spring.Helpful Reply

I once dug some up to get rid of, later the next summer noticed they were growing on their on on top of the soil. Very hardy! As far as cutting them, I wait till spring and then I just brake off the dead, and they are good to go. It is one of the plants you need for a Butterfly Garden. They have a beautiful purple leaf version to, a little less hardy.Helpful Reply

Joanne Stein on Oct 21, 2016I have these too. The bees love them. Cut down now for winter. They tend to get heavy and flatten down to the ground, especially when wet. To avoid that, in late spring before mid-June, you should take off top flower buds, before it flowers. That stops it from getting too high, or the stems getting too long, and they stay up longer. The flowers will grow back very quickly again.Helpful Reply
