'Autumn Joy' doesn't self-seed - does it?

| I've had some Sedum 'Autumn Joy' in my garden for a few years and last year I moved it to a sunnier position. I also left the flower heads on all through the winter and early spring - often I've removed them a bit earlier than this. Just today I noticed a couple of seedlings coming up next to the main clump. At least I think they are seedlings - they are considerably smaller than those parts of the plant sprouting back up from the root. I thought Autumn Joy was supposed to be sterile, though. Is there any chance I'm going to get something slightly different? |

| I've never seen seedlings. It is possible that the plant is potentially fertile but requires a different clone to set seed, which will rarely be present since all 'Autumn Joy's are clones of eachother. |
