What is the classification for a autumn joy sedum?

Answer 1

The botanical name of Autumn Joy Sedum is Sedum spectabile 'Autumn Joy'. It sometimes is also called Sedum telephium 'Autumn Joy'. It's known as a herbaceous perennial, or a plant that lives indefinitely, but dies back to the ground every winter, to emerge again from the crown with new growth in the spring.

The leaves are blue green and lush, and large pink to salmon colored flower heads emerge in late summer, making this one of the most sought after fall blooming plants in the garden. Butterflies and bees are attracted to the large landing pad flowers that resemble the florets of broccoli.
