Beth's Patch ~ Autumn Joy Sedum And Pollinators

 Autumn Joy Sedum is a "chocolate cake" to the butterflies & bugs when blooming in the fall. It can get tall, leggy and fall over so I cut mine back twice during the summer so it gets bushier and stays more compact. Sedum loves full sun but can also take partial shade. It's so worth it to have in your gardens. And if you knock a branch off just stick it into the ground where it'll root itself
