    This lovely plant is a sport of Hylotelephium spectabile 'Herbstfreude,' better known as 'Autumn Joy.' It is good to know that 'Autumn Charm' seems to hold its variegation.

    Autumn Charm is one of my two favorite upright sedums. It remains upright, doesn't flop, and the variegated foliage is very attractive all season. I have had this variety for over six years and there has been no reversion whatever so far. I haven't found a single plain green leaf yet. It blooms a very pretty light pink.
