#ProPlantTips for Care:

Be sure to plant perennial Sedum in full sun for the best color and strongest stems. Plant these water-wise plants in very well-drained soil for the best healthy growth possible, since soggy conditions are a death sentence. Water just enough to maintain moderate moisture around the roots of new plants, and for best health, provide supplemental moisture during extended drought. Sedum also appreciates a 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch chips around the root zone, an early spring pruning, and crown division every 3-5 years for best vigor.

  • Best Color in Full Sun
  • Thrives in Almost Any Well-Drained Soil Type
  • Low Moisture Needs & Drought Tolerant Once Established
  • Prune Down Early Spring
  • Deer & Rabbit Resistant
