A gorgeous, very hardy perennial that deserves a spot in every garden. Forms a stunning clump of green heart-shaped leaves topped with tall steely blue stems (stunning in their own right!) of blue flowers. The flowers start off green and then slowly change to blue giving a lovely two-tone effect.… View moreA gorgeous, very hardy perennial that deserves a spot in every garden.

A perennial with elegant, heart-shaped foliage that changes colors over time.
Beautiful, funnel-shaped, lavender flowers, placed on the 18 to 24 inches (46 – 61 cm) long stems, will bloom in the late summer. The foliage will spread wide and stays upright until early winter.
Autumn Joy is a popular upright variety of stonecrop.Sedums are a fantastic plant that are extremely tolerant of sandy or gravelly soil and dry conditions.

The leaves are fleshy and succulent like and the first flowers appear in autumn with flat heads of flowers that gradually open to produce pinkish flowers that gradually turn to bronze then rust red. Bees and Bumblebees love the flowers of this plant. Can also be used as cut flowers.
The flower can be left on the plant to provide winter interest and birds will feed on the dried flower heads.

"Hamilton mayor Paula Southgate says she wants to investigate the feasibility of setting up border controls between the city and Raglan, an ongoing Covid hotspot."
Good one. Why should we lose freedoms due to science deniers refusing vaccines and offering YouTubes as "research"?… View more"Hamilton mayor Paula Southgate says she wants to investigate the feasibility of setting up border controls between the city and Raglan, an ongoing Covid hotspot."

This plant quickly establishes an attractive clump of grey foliage, in spring it bursts forth with tall stems with glowing magenta flowers that float above the foliage. It has a long season of interest flowering from spring through until late summer. It is easy to grow and trouble free, in short, it is the perfect plant!
It is grown as much for its foliage as its flowers and the foliage provides interest in the winter garden whilst not flowering. It is an excellent choice for dry gardens as does like to have good drainage and it is of course right at home in the cottage garden as it will self sow and pop up around your garden as it self-sows. The fact that it likes a dry spot means it is an excellent choice of plant in our climate as things become a lot drier.
Plant is in 1.9 litre pot.
Plant grows from division, so flowers are already formed as you may see from a photo.

On Saturday we had a parcel which had been sent per NZ Post Couriers delivered to our letter box, not by NZ Post but by a person who had found it on the road a kilometre away! With it a note: Courier dropped on road, Homestead Place. I have tried to contact NZ Post Couriers per phone to no avail. I rang the 0800 number and was directed to a series of numbers, but nothing for complaints. I then tried their website and found a section for feedback. They said that they would not answer feedback but I decided to write something anyway but the comment box only allowed me to enter one line. Obviously they don't want complaints. I will in future not deal with NZ companies who intend to send my goods per NZ Post Couriers. Meanwhile, many thanks to the kind and honest person in Homestead Place who took the trouble to deliver the parcel.
