Sedum are well-known perennials for their distinctive fleshy foliage and come in a wide range of shapes and sizes - from upright varieties to groundcovers. Star-shaped flowers are usually in clusters or sprays that often change color throughout their bloom time. Stonecrop enjoy full sun, but will tolerate some shade.

Sedum is a perennial plant with thick, succulent leaves, fleshy stems, and clusters of star-shaped flowers. Here’s how to grow sedum in your garden!

There are many, many different varieties and species of sedum—also called “stonecrop”—which makes them suitable for use in almost any garden design. They’re hardy, easy to care for, and beloved by pollinators!

We like to divide sedum into two main categories based on the plants’ growth habit: low-growing sedum and upright sedum.

• Low–growing sedum spreads along the ground, reaching only a few inches (or less) in height. This makes them perfect for use as a ground cover along paths, in rock gardens, or cascading down a stone wall.

• Upright sedum tends to form tall, upright clumps that produce a tight mass of tiny flowers. Their height and attractive flowers make them good candidates for border gardens.

WHEN TO PLANT SEDUM

• Sedum is usually bought in plugs or pots and transplanted into the garden. The best time to plant sedum is in the spring—after the threat of frost but before the heat of summer kicks in.

• Plant sedum seeds in early spring in well-drained, average to rich soil. (Learn more about soil amendments and preparing soil for planting.)
