\nNothing holds a garden together like Hylotelephium \u2018Herbstfreude Group\u2019My garden is dotted with Hylotelephium \u2018Herbstfreude Group\u2019, formerly known as Sedum \u2018Autumn Joy\u2019. One might argue that there is a little too much of it, but as it comes into flower in August and the bees and butterflies dance around it, I feel justified. Not only is it a brilliant wildlife plant; its sturdy, painterly presence holds the late summer garden together. It\u2019s a tough plant that\u2019s easy to grow in all soils, whether in sun or semi-shade. It also works well in containers and is ideal for rooftops and other exposed positions, being drought-tolerant.The flat, broad flowerheads are made up of hundreds of tiny star-shaped blooms that are rich in thin nectar. It\u2019s not just things that flutter and buzz that like them \u2013 all sorts of insects will dine and live there. The seedheads are extremely robust: they will make it through the winter, even capped in snow. One year I left all the outer seedheads in place so that they acted as staking to the new growth, because \u2018Herbstfreude\u2019 does have a habit of collapsing and baring its middle. It\u2019s particularly liable to flop if it is overfed, in too rich soil. Being mean to this one, and pinching out the growth in June, will keep it neater, otherwise you do need to come up with some means of staking. Continue reading…
