The crisp fall air heralds the emergence of golden hues, native asters, and graceful meadow grasses in our garden beds; and this season of mists and mellow fruitfulness isn’t complete without autumn colour.

If you’re looking for a beautiful plant that thrives with virtual neglect, sedum ternatum just might fit the bill. Sedums strut their stuff where many other plants dare not venture.
