Autumn Fire Stonecrop

About this plant

Hylotelephium spectabile 'Autumn Fire', commonly known as Stonecrop, is an improved cultivar celebrated for its large, broccoli-like flower heads that emerge green, gradually transforming to shades of soft pink, then brilliant deep rose, and finally a rich coppery-red. This resilient perennial forms an attractive mound of succulent, blue-green foliage, offering a superb architectural element to sunny borders, rock gardens, and mass plantings. Its sturdy stems and long-lasting blooms make it an excellent choice for cut flower arrangements, both fresh and dried. 'Autumn Fire' is exceptionally low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, providing reliable performance and a continuous show of evolving color from late summer through autumn, long after many other garden plants have faded.

Care & maintenance

Easily grown in average, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils. Avoid heavy, wet soils and excessive fertilization, as this can lead to leggy growth and reduced flowering. Cut back spent flower stalks in late winter or early spring just before new growth emerges.
