A really tall sedum
 

Does any one know of a tall sedum?

Not Autumn Joy or kin tall (for me around 24" max), but a true back of the
border sedum.

Or lacking a true sedum, something with the presence of a sedum that I could
use near my tall (6 foot plus) grasses.


Thanks all,

Cheryl

A really tall sedum
 

'Autumn Joy' is a Hylotelephium hybrid not a Sedum. Its a deciduous
perennial anyway.

Sedum praealtum is a yellow flowering tall growing shrubby species from
Mexico but its not very cold hardy and not for growing outdoor in the winter
in zone 4. The same applies to Sedum dendroideum.

You may want to consider growing Hylotelephium (formerly Sedum)
populifolium, a deciduous shrubby species from Siberia.

Try Amaranthus " Hot Biscuits" parks seed
It does better in poorer soil-less lodging.

I have an older green variety that came with the house that gets a good 4
foot tall with creamy white "broccoli head" flowers that fade to a soft
pinkish. If you want a root I will see what I can do when you send yer
address to my snail mail addy

A really tall sedum
 

Achillea x 'Coronation Gold' gets 24-36" tall. Has golden yellow flowers
from late spring to summer with gray-green foliage. It's commonly known as
Yarrow. Likes full sun (drought tolerant) and is good in zones 2-8.

Agastache x 'Blue Fortune' gets 40" tall. Blue-lavender flowers with
licorice scented leaves bloom from early spring throughout the summer.
'Tutti Frutti' gets 3-4' tall and has tubular pink flowers from mid-summer
to frost. It has fragrant foliage that smells like tutti frutti. Both are
good in zone 6-9 in full sun.

Baptisia australis "false indigo" - mid to late spring bloomer. Flowers are
blue and mature fruit is black. Gets 36" tall and is good in zones 3-10
with full to part sun.

Baptisia pendula "white false indigo" has clusters of white pea like flowers
that grow to 40" tall. Zone 3-10.

These are just a few perennials that could be used in front of the grasses.
Don't forget Black Eyed Susans, Purple Coneflowers (Echinacea) and Russian
Sage. Do a google on the plants listed and you can see what they look like.

Good luck,

Hi Cheryl,
If you are looking for blossoms around the time of the fall blooming
sedums, why not try a tall variety of Aster. Just make sure that you
choose mildew-resistant varieties.

You are describing the very Hylotelephium (formerly Sedum) 'Autumn Joy' that
she doesn't want!!!
Its a deciduous perennial not a shrub anyway.

Amaranthus is neither a Sedum nor a shrub.
