Growing Instructions

Plant Sedum in the spring after all danger of frost has passed. Plant in a full sun to partially shaded location. Sedum loves soil that is rich, porous and drains well but still holds enough water for the roots. If your soil is heavy clay and drains slowly, or very sandy and does not hold water, add organic soil amendments like peat moss or ground bark. Spread a 3-4 inch layer of soil amendment if needed, add fertilizer and incorporate into the soil to a depth of 10 inches. Plant in groups with roots spaced 24-48" apart for the best show. Sedum should be planted 0.5-1" deep. Water thoroughly at planting. Water as needed while growing. Mulch to keep the soil cool and to prevent the soil from drying out. Apply fertilizer before and after flowering.

Care Tip

These plants require little to no maintenance as long as they are planted properly and establish themselves. After flowering, cut back to maintain shape.
