Two dozen! They'll take over the world!!!! What is it you want to cut down? Are last year's flowers still on there, now crispy brown things? The plant itself only grows a couple of inches high, not much to cut down. They do spread sideways though! I pull off the flowers when they are dead at the end of summer. My plants are well-established and I hack them back mercilessly at any time, but you should probably give yours a little more time before getting too aggressive.

Hello!...I have Dragon's Blood Sedum(a low growing groundcover with reddish edges) planted in front of my Autumn Joy, and I just got some Purple Emperor Sedum to plant on either side of AJ to add some color to the sedum mixture. Purple Emperor keeps its dark purple foliage and blooms a reddish pink...it is similar in form to AJ.... I have interesting rocks and uniquely shaped pieces of weathered cedar wood added for an interesting woodland rock garden effect. This area is situated next to bridge going over a stream with spills over into a pond. Adjacent to this Sedum arrangement, I have a Densata Dwarf Spruce tree and a Mountain Ash surrounded by Goldstrum Rudbeckia, Burgundy and Goblin Blanketflowers, Flying Saucers Coreopsis, Baby Goldenrod and Blue Mirror Delphinium.(I love the deep blue of this airy form of Delphinium along with the burgundy and yellow golds of the others...That Baby Goldenrod is a really nice and sturdy plant!..great form and the yellow looks so nice with blues, purples and reds...Plant it next to Burgundy blanketflower for a wonderful effect)...When AJ blooms, it adds its burst of rosy pink color, which then warms up to a brick red color which looks nice alongside the colors of the others....Ooooppphhs...I got carried away!...I love the topic of companion plants and enjoy hearing about what works best together and is most pleasing to the eye....Take care...GardenLove

Hi, I would really like to get some Sedum Autumn Joy stonecrop. If anyone as some to spare for an sase. You can also see if I have anything you may be interested in. Thanks Mary-Jane

Hi Elaine, If you don't get any takers, I have plenty of this sedum and would be glad to send you some. Your Anemone nemorosa is up! I love them. Trillium just jumped out of the ground overnight too, a couple with blooms. My favorite time of year (among others LOL.) Let me know, it's no problem to mail. Annie
