Tips to Grow Sedum

  1. Arrange good quality Sedum cuttings.
  2. The soil should be well-drained soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline
  3. Space plants are between 6 inches and 2 feet apart, depending on the variety. Low-growing sedums will readily spread to fill any gaps, while upright sedums tend to stay more compact.
  4. Dig a hole deep enough so that the top of the root ball is level with the surface of the soil, then place the plant in the hole and fill in around it.
  5. Be careful not to bury the stems of upright sedum especially, as this can lead to rot.
  6. Once established, sedum plants require little care. During the summer, check your plants regularly to make sure they are not too dry and water if needed.
  7. As long as your area gets rain every couple of weeks at the least, sedum shouldn’t need any extra watering.
