Growing Instructions:
- Planting: Plant Sedum seeds in well-drained soil, either directly in the ground or in containers. Start seeds indoors for earlier blooms or sow them directly in the garden after the last frost. Space plants about 6 inches apart to allow for proper growth.
- Watering: Sedum is drought-tolerant once established. Water regularly during the first few weeks of growth, then reduce watering to maintain dry soil.
- Sunlight: This plant prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. However, it will flower best when given at least six hours of direct sunlight each day.
- Pruning: Remove spent flowers to encourage further blooming and to keep the plant tidy. Sedum can be cut back in the fall to prepare for winter.
- Winter Care: In colder climates, mulch around the base of the plant to protect roots from freezing temperatures.
