    Hi all, I have come across these on the allotment and wondered what they were and if they are worth keeping? As part of the rules we have to have a flower bed at the front of the plot so may keep them in :noidea: thanks in advance :dbgrtmb:

      Sedum spectabile or more likely Sedum spectabile x telephium, Jasmine. :)

      Apologies, missed the bit where you asked if they were worth keeping. Yep, I definitely think so, low-maintenance plant and the bees love it!

          Isn't that the one that's more attractive to bees than butterflies?

            @Scrungee Yup, that's the one. Seems to mainly attract honeybees. AKA 'Autumn Joy', if I remember correctly.

              Please can anyone help me identify this perennial.
              It has just come into flower and I've lost the label:)
