Sedum spectabile 'Autumn Fire' - 2026

Sedum spectabile 'Autumn Fire', also known as Hylotelephium 'Autumn Fire', is a clump-forming perennial admired for its fleshy, grey-green foliage and vibrant clusters of deep pink to red star-shaped flowers that bloom from late summer into early autumn. The upright stems rise above the compact foliage, creating a striking, architectural display that adds both colour and texture to borders, gravel gardens, and container plantings. Its long-lasting blooms gradually deepen in hue, providing extended seasonal interest and visual appeal.

Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, this drought-tolerant plant performs well in poor or stony conditions. The nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, enhancing ecological value in the garden. Low-maintenance and hardy, Sedum spectabile 'Autumn Fire' requires occasional trimming of spent flower heads to maintain neatness and encourage fresh growth. Its combination of attractive foliage, vivid blooms, and resilience makes it a versatile and visually rewarding choice for a wide range of garden settings.
