Autumn Joy Stonecrop

Plant Description: A classic, reliable succulent perennial that grows in upright clumps and provides late-season color. The light green, toothed, waxy leaves grow on unbranched stems. Late-summer to early-autumn brings flat clusters of dark-pink, star-shaped flowers that eventually turn copper red. The dried flowers retain textural interest into winter. Drought tolerant; plant in well-drained soils and avoid overwatering.
