In
our opinion, Sedum 'Autumn Joy' is not only one of the best Sedums in the
trade but one of the best Perennials -- period! We couldn't think of
any way to improve on it but, well, gosh, now there's a STABLE variegated
form of 'Autumn Joy' (via intermediate sport 'Autumn Charm'
TM). Oh wow!
Chartreuse-yellow leaves with a narrow, blue-green margin. The large
clusters of pink flowers on sturdy upright stems coordinate perfectly and
generally completely cover the entire top of the foliage -- just like
Grandma 'Autumn Joy'. Gradually, the seed heads change to bronze and
add winter interest. 
One of our tiniest sedums. But don't let that fool you. This little guy can
grow like a little weed! But it's so tiny, it won't run over it's
neighbors unless they're also VERY tiny. Beautiful under conifers if
they're limbed up 3 feet or so, so some sunlight can get in, where most
things won't grow. With some sun, this little guy will grow anywhere
but a wet spot..
Trailing, stoloniferous, DECIDUOUS perennial w/ purple-tinged stems bearing
opposite gray-green leaves. Bears terminal, slightly rounded, panicle-like
cymes, to 4" across, of star-shaped, pink-purple flowers which age to
carmine-red. An exceptional sedum from Japan. It was a 1997 Plant of the
Month of the Rock Garden Society. Not invasive.

Georgia
plantsman Don Jacobs collected this sedum in a woodland location on the
lower slopes of Mt. Emei in the Sczechuan Province of China. 'Eco-Mt. Emei'
grows in compact mounds of round, shiny green 1/3" leaves & tolerates a wide
range of soils & light conditions -- sun to 3/4 shade & dry to average
moisture. Red foliage in winter. Maybe Zone 5.
Makes
an absolutely superb container plant in warm zones (or brought inside
for winter) as it's evergreen. Great in mixed
containers. A diminutive 3" tall but spreading. Unique
chocolate red color with bright yellow blooms from June through
September. Needs very well-drained soil. You will see this
listed as much more hardy but this species is not very hardy so I think
6-9 is correct.
A
wonderful little sedum with blue-green succulent leaves and a soft feathery
feel to it. This European native is a great rockery plant and not a
thug which some creeping sedums are. More mound forming actually
although it can spread if happy. The species has white to pale pink
blooms whereas this form is distinctly pink. Great in troughs
although not quite as hardy as some Sedums. 
A
great, small, purplish foliage variety of Sedum which is very low and
compact and has a feathery texture. Excellent choice for the rock
garden and as a ground cover. Requires excellent drainage.
It's not actually purple, just has a hint of purple to the foliage and
is darker in winter than the species.
From
China where it's where they eat both the shoots and leaves. Looks
especially beautiful around conifers. Very fleshy leaves which change
colors with the season. 
From
China where it's where they eat both the shoots and leaves. Looks
especially beautiful around conifers. Very fleshy leaves which change
colors with the season. Similar to the species but with variegated
leaves. Stunning and colorful in bloom.
Spreading, mat-forming plant with narrow pale green leaves with cream colored variegation. Outstanding groundcover. Narrow succulent pale green leaves with creamy variegation. This is a really
gorgeous sedum. Moderately spreading, not too aggressive.
Far
and away the most yellow of all the sedums. Looks like little
golden/chartreuse pebbles. Ogon means gold in Japanese. Yellow
blooms with orange tips to the stamens which are attractive and fluffy
looking. Not as hardy as some Sedums but for those who can grow
it, it's a charmer. Takes heat well and looks good all
summer. Unlike some sedums, it also seems to prefer a little
shade in warmer climates.
A
relative of famed golden 'Ogon' but with green and white foliage
instead of gold. Mint green round succulent foliage with
creamy borders topped by yellow green blooms in August. Makes
a dense groundcover and beautiful spilling out of troughs or over
walls in warmer areas. Not as hardy as some sedums in this
variegated form.
A
superb new Sedum hybrid with plum colored foliage, bicolor pink
blooms. A seedling of Sedum tatranowii is taller than the
parent. Similar to S. x 'Bertram Anderson' but with smaller
foliage and a strongly mounding dome shape. Stunning Plum and
Grey Green foliage.
Touted
as the replacement for burgundy Sedum 'Mohrchen' because it retains
it's upright posture throughout the season. The fleshy, dark
purple leaves and stems lay the foundation for masses of tiny,
star-lie, dusky pinkish-purple bloom in large, flattened flower
heads, 3-6" across. Like all of the 'tall' Sedums,
wonderful even in winter. Introduced by Washfield Nursery in
England, it has the darkest black burgundy of any sedum and will
surely take the Sedum world by storm.
Small spruce-like blue-gray leaves on upright stems, evergreen, yellow flowers, June, 6-8". A vigorous ground-cover sedum with a unique form.
Like
it's cousin, S. rupestre, it looks like a little succulent,
evergreen forest, only in this case, the foliage is gold.
Strong grower and good groundcover. Spikey golden foliage to
3/4" long. In cold climates, often turns reddish-orange
in autumn. Star-shaped 1/2" wide blooms over a long time
in summer.
This is definitely one of the cutest sedums we have. Hardy enough to live in
containers outside.
Attractive spreading plant that look like a forest of miniature Yews with yellow flowers. Easy to grow in well-drained soil.
Low arching 6-9" blue green leaves, semi-evergreen, often flushed with red; red stems; large, 2" rosy pink flowers in September-October. This plant is a beauty. This
form is a bit more blue than the following one.
Low arching 6-9" blue-green leaves, semi-evergreen, often flushed with red; red stems; large, 2" rosy pink flowers in September -October. This plant is a beauty.
This form is a bit more green.
A
dwarf form of the species and quite possibly our favorite sedum.
When it blooms there's really nothing like it. Blue foliage but with
an undertone of mauve and deep, rosy pink blooms. Not a spreader.
Early fall blooming pale pink flower heads deepen to rosy salmon red, then to Indian red
(shown at left) and finally to copper bronze. Spent flowers are good for winter interest or as dried flowers. Tolerates part shade. Needs more moisture than some sedums; not wet, just normal
moisture. This is just a must have
in your garden. It's been around for years -- and it's a Classic for a
good reason!
Huge heads of rose pink blooms on grey-green foliage. When it's blooming, it's usually hard to see the blooms for the butterflies. A big, bold sedum, which with Autumn Joy & Mohrchen make easy, dried flowers. Needs more moisture than other sedums -- not wet, just normal.

This is the closest yet to red! Huge flower heads.
'Matrona' has bronzy-green foliage; strong, shiny, reddish-purple upright stems & large, pale pink flower heads. This new German introduction tops out 4-6" taller than Sedum 'Autumn Joy'. 'Matrona's stout & sturdy form is supposed to remind us of an old grandmother in a pink bandana!
Old Maryland came to us via a customer. It had been on her Maryland family farm for many,
many years and is distinctly different from the current upright sedums in the trade because of it Gorgeous Soft Pink
rather than hot pink or rusty pink blooms. A surprising Fall color - soft
clear medium pink!
We think it's a winner.
One of the 'hottest' color in the upright
Sedums. Neon is aptly named and positively glows in the Fall
Garden.
Red orange foliage. Red flowers in July. Good ground cover. This creeper has lustrous, semi-evergreen foliage w/ a deep-red edge and burgundy flowers in early to midsummer. It spreads rapidly but not
invasively. Wherever its lax stems touch soil, they put down roots.
Sedum spuriums are the best ground-cover sedums and will even grow beneath maple trees! This cultivar of the species is shorter, 2-4", and features Pink, not red, flowers in June. Plant 12" apart for ground covers. Will take light shade.
Sedum spurium's are the best groundcover sedums and this one is spectacular with it's tricolored
foliage, pink and white on green. Will grow almost anywhere except wet
soil, even beneath MAPLE TREES. Cut back if it gets lanky and it will pop right back tighter than ever.
A
dark little creeper that will scare the 'blahs' from your garden with
it's magic. Hardy enough for fabulous container arrangements or
perfect as a groundcover.
Only SHADE & MOISTURE TOLERANT sedum w/ coppery fall foliage, white
flowers, blooms in April-May. Will trail over damp rocks and mossy banks.
Will take full sun but leaves lighten & loose their luster. Soil should
be moist but WD. Good with woodland plant.
Penny to nickel-sized & shiny leaves cover the cascading stems
of this handsome Chinese Sedum. Each leaf is tipped with rosy-bronze, and
the entire plant glows bronze in the fall. Yellow blooms appear in early
summer. This sedum shines as a ground cover & is great cascading down
slopes, over stones, or from planters. This is possibly our most
favorite groundcover sedum. A STRONG weed suppressing grower.
Often
listed as a cultivar of Sedum cauticola, it's actually a hybrid with
S. cauticola as one parent. Very cold hardy with rounded,
blue violet foliage on cascading purplish stems, and deep rose flowers
in the autumn. Compact and sprawling (in the nicest sense), the foliage is a cool
dusty lilac with an overall effect of smoky blue with rose-pink blooms
in September and October. 
Marvelous English hybrid with
bluish green leaves which turn DEEP PURPLE in the Fall on arching stems &
with dusty pink flowers. With less sun, it won't reach the deep purple
color but is grey-green tinged w/ pink. Gracefully reclines rather than upright. This is a superb sedum, in a color class all of it's own.
Touted
as another improved version of 
1/19/09 - So new, we appear to be the first to offer it online according to
our Google Search. And this is going to be a winner. An Intrinsic
Perennial Gardens Introduction, it has unique pointed grey green foliage
which emerges in spring on strongly mounding domes. It slowly expands to
10-12" mounds with white Sedum spectabile (Autumn Joy/Matrona) type flowers
near the end of August into September. We've never seen a true
MOUNDING SEDUM in this height range and can just imagine the possibilities!
Intrinsic has been working for sometime for tight, sturdy compact Sedums and
it sure likes they've done it! 
Green
leaves backed and tipped dark red. Nice tufted tips and edges. Great
winter color. ANDRÉ SMITS (BE), 1995
Has grey webbing woven thru the rosettes. Full sun increases this pretty feature.
Introduced by Kevin Vaughn of the US in 1977. This is a small- to medium-sized semp with compact rosettes of muted
grayish-green with darker tips, taking on a bluish tinge in the summer. Sturdy, compact plants which offset well.
A cross between S. 'Thayne' and an unknown Semp.
Medium- large-sized rosettes of orange-brown rosettes flushed terracotta pink with darker
tips in summer. Offsets carried on long red stolons. Good deep wine winter
color. Bred by American Ed Skrocki (US) in 1976. This is one of our
favorites. Wonderful in pots where the offsets trail down over the
edge of the pot just waiting to be plucked to start a new pot!
Introduced
by Leo Thomas of the US. Called 'Rollers' because the round babies
roll away from the Momma. Some sources list them as Sempervivums (Sunny
Border for one) so we just leave them in with the Semps with both names so
people can find them! Jovibarba flowers are yellow, more bell-like
and usually have six petals.
Andre
Smits, Belgium, 1996. Deep Rosy burgundy in winter from green
in summer. Not quite a satin, but nice
form with pointed leaves. New growth is red.
A
strong grower. Dusky green in summer and a nice rose in winter.
This form of S. Pilosum came to us from my sister Bobby & it's one of the prettiest Hens 'n Chicks we seen. A decided burgundy undertone to the grey green foliage. Extremely tidy form as it rarely flowers.
Vigorous. This is NOT a
registered name.
Ed
Skrock (US), 1991
Neat
rosettes show almost entirely honey-red with chubby chicks on red
stolons with fine cilia. In winter they're burgundy and green.
An
arachnoideum type with deep, rich green purple backed leaves
somewhat squared off at the tips. Starts out as a perfect
round sphere and opens up to reveal it's colorful leaves.
