Sedum 'Autumn Joy': new spring growth

Sedum 'Autumn Joy' is a hybrid of different Sedum (stonecrop) species popular in Toronto gardens for providing true four-season interest with minimal care.

I was pleasantly surprised to see these little rosettes of new growth at the base of last winter's stems. (Only the top 2-3 cm of ground has thawed here.)

Sedum 'Autumn Joy': winter

Sedum 'Autumn Joy' is a hybrid of different Sedum (stonecrop) species popular in Toronto gardens for providing true four-season interest with minimal care. Here is a clump of Autumn Joy seedheads, persisting well into winter despite heavy snowfall. I find it amazing that such slender stems can support such large clumps of snow.
