Showy stonecrop, usually sold as Sedum spectabile or Autumn Joy, flowers in September and October. Nectar good, pollen moderate to medium. The flat flower heads are open, so it is still visited even in cool autumn weather, when deeper flowers have long been left unvisited. British measurements give around 93 micrograms of sugar per flower per day.
