Sedum Spectabilis..for Karenfrance..

They are spectacular Sandra mine are the same, just love them and such an easy plant ;0) [Ive put a blog with pics of Izzy on if you want a peep and half way through doing one onAmbleside and Ullswater ;0))

Wouldn't be without them in the garden Bloomer :o))

Gorgeous, Sandra! Beautiful deep colour - I have to get me some of these :)

I have these for the first time and I'm so pleased with them. How long have you had yours Bloomer? , cause it looks fantastic.

It's been a good year for them Carole..lots of warm sunshine .and great that they look after themselves too.I hardly ever water them either...I've seen lovely Izzy,and left a comment,gorgeous little girl :o)..get a move on with that blog ! Lol x

Me neither,Annie..but it's something else I didn't used to be keen on years ago..funny how we change our minds :o)
.........
Thanks Karen,I just thought it may be like your 'Josephine' spectabilis you showed us..so you may already have it?
........
thanks Waddy,they are lovely aren't they? I have had mine since we moved here,but it has been split a few times since..I have three in my long border at the front..a nice splash of colour for Autumn too..I leave the flower heads on over winter..they look lovely when frosted :o)

That is a lovely deep shade Bloomer, it has been a good year for them they all have really large blooms this year :o)

Thanks Neellan,they are huge this year aren't they? Best I've ever seen them,I think ..

Lovely... :))

It's different, Bloomer...Mine has purple stems...and quite pale flowers, which do look great with the dark stems. But, I want to plant as many different ones as I can get in my sun-roasted border, coz I'm really fed up with the endless watering. I love the colour of your flowers...do you think it might be called "Autumn Joy"?

It is Autumn joy,Karen..Resi has kindly told me,via your blog ! :o) I hope you find one,as it really is a good one..and if you see a small spreading variety,called Purple Emperor,you would love that too....dark foliage ,which would be a lovely contrast to your gravel..hardy too ..I posted a pic a while ago..I will let you know the page,in case you might want to take a look..my all time favourite now..
Found it..page 1, first photo on row four...x

This looks super Bloomer! When I lived at home (many years ago now) I had a tortoise called Timmy! He loved to munch his way through these sedums. Every year it came up but was always eaten back before it managed to grow tall or even flower!

Aw bless,Petaltracey..at least you know he never went hungry! Lol.He would have had a field with this one then ! and thank you :o)

.

Very pretty pic :o)

Thanks Terra..they have done very well this year :o)
