Growing and Maintenance Tips
Sedums are "plant and forget" perennials. Because of their ability to store water in their thick succulent leaves they are very drought tolerant. They do well in average well drained soil in full sun to light shade. Do not add extra organic material because this will make the plants floppy. Leave the foliage to stand for the winter because the large seed heads are attractive and provide food for the birds.
