Low mat forming species often have a wide variety of leaf and flower color, and are great for rock gardens, or groundcovers even on hot, dry slopes. Taller species have beautiful fall color, give wonderful color in borders. All sedums are nice in containers. Full sun, (partial shade for some cultivars). Well-drained, ordinary soil. Very drought-tolerant. No fertilizer needed. Divide anytime, best in early spring. Very large plants that need staking should be divided. Cutting back stems in spring if you like to see the flower heads poke through the snow.October Flower & Plant
