New growth

I planted two small bush/shrubs that we got from Home Depot this past fall. They lived for about 3 months. I pulled the dead branches off one day hoping that they might come back to life because I noticed some new growth in the center. It’s been about three months since I did that and now I have these. This is nothing like what I originally planted. Can anyone tell me what it is?

It looks like sedum to me. I have a variety called ‘Autumn Joy’

Here’s an old post from 2015 with a photo of them in bloom in the background —

These okra were a bit oppressed while Trucker's Favorite White corn were looming over them, but now that the corn stalks have been removed, they seem to be visibly trying to make up for lost time. I'm loving the color combination with the Sedum 'Autumn Joy' starting to bloom behind them.

Burpee Burgundy in the foreground, (harvested the pods today after taking the picture). Dwarf Red in the back – that big pod was the very first of all of these to set. I'm leaving it to mature for the seeds to see if it's possible. I did the same thing with Louisiana Green Velvet.

If leaving the very first pod to mature, sacrificing production on that plant, still isn't enough to save mature seeds, I'll just give up and stop trying. :|
