Privately I sedum divided into three groups, spring, summer and autumn. In all this time of year are species that are coloring their flowers or vynímečné and stronger than usual. The group is definitely autumn stonecrop family Phedimus. Plants ranging from Russia to the Far East. Typical stems are procumbent, elongated leaves kopisťovité zoubkovitou or serrated blade. Plants bloom in the first half of summer and flowers by species in colors from white through yellow to purplish red. This is a very hardy plants, which makes problems in our winter conditions.

The hallmark of this genus is dropping leaves Winter either the entire length of the stem, or maintaining only the top leaf rosette. It is the top roses are typical for the species Phedimus Spurius and all its forms, varieties and cultivars. This is perhaps the best known species which is widespread in our country and in many places already zplaněl. Not only that, Phedimus spirius is perhaps the most šlechtěným kind on the market and there are many cultivars with all sorts of color combinations.

This brings me to why I joined the group phedimusy autumn plants. It Phedimu Spurius at the end of the season leaves its vibrant colors in shades of red to bronze. But it is not only this species, but also Phedimus hybridus, which turns the leaf margins fiery red, Phedimus ellacombinaus or that otherwise year-round lime green is exchanged for a radiant bronze. This autumn leaf coloration reason why these otherwise ordinary sedum have in your rockery or dry wall. Try to stop and sometimes perceive this color, Sedum ending farewell to summer. It's worth it. :-)
