Initial Notes:

I have for years erroneously identified this sedum as 'Autumn Joy' which is indeed an entirely different plant. No matter, this is a very hardy, persistent plant which rewards the gardener with lush green foliage and plenty of pink blooms in late summer into fall. It is only through Plant Files that I have come to finally (and correctly) identify it. With that said, it is a strong butterfly and bee magnet, and draws many other insects as well.
