Grown in a wide range of shapes and sizes, blooms colors and textures, November flowers provide warmth and color to the landscape, even during the cool climate.

Stonecrop (Sedum), also called Autumn Joy, is a succulent, clumping perennial that grows best in USDA zones 3 to 11. It grows between 1 and 3 feet tall and wide and has a moderate growth rate. The 3- to 6-inch-wide flattened flowerhead is made up of small, star-like flowers that are deep rose to red and attract butterflies to the garden. The fleshy, gray to green foliage and succulent leaves grow in an upright, spreading clump. Stonecrop grows best in full sun to part shade and well-drained soil with a medium amount of moisture. Stonecrop is both drought- and heat-tolerant.
