How to Grow
Light: Sun (> 6 hours sun) to part-sun (4-6 hours sun). Will lean toward the sun if grown in too much shade.
Water: Dry to average moisture. It tolerates drought once established, but should receive some water when conditions are hot and dry.
Spacing: 12 inches
Fertilizing: Fertilizer isn't required when grown in rich soils, but a handful of all-purpose granular fertilizer can be applied in early spring if needed.
Winterizing: Dried flower heads of many varieties remain attractive in winter, whether left standing in the garden or brought indoors. Small animals and bugs may take home in accumulated debris during cold weather. It doesn't need mulch in winter unless grown in harsh climates.
Maintenance & pruning: Pinch back the tips of new spring growth for more compact plants. Stop fertilizing and water in the fall and winter. Throughout spring and summer, divisions and cuttings can easily root for new plants.
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:
Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.
Love this little plant so much I came back the next year for more. Always healthy and packaged carefully. Great Starter plants!!
They arrived very healthy and vibrant hopefully they will grow fast.
This sedum is blooming now. It was in bud when it arrived. The tiny star-like flowersmare punk and quite pretty. This plant brightens up andish or rock garden.
I had to put chicken wire around this little gem as the bunnies ate the tips, but it just put out more tiny little leaves making it more beautiful
than before! Can’t wait to see it change colors when the weather gets cooler:)
these are beautiful in person. I can wait to get them in the ground!
Was not delivered! I never received this plant ! Very disappointed!

Everything came well rapped
I don’t usually write reviews, but the excellent quality of not only the plants, but also the way the plants were packaged for shipping deserves praise! I will definitely order plants again from this company.
Plants are healthy and are a nice size. Prices can’t be beat. Packing and shipping are the best.
Received healthy and undamaged, living plants. Immediately put them in a growing environment, they are thtiving well!
Arrived happy and healthy. Is thriving after acclimating and planting.
Sweet plants got here safely. LOVE the packaging used; very sturdy. Repotted to overwinter and they love the pots & are getting quite big. Can't wait to see how they do in spring!
I just received this sedum a few weeks ago. It came well packed and in great condition. Two small stems broke off but I popped them in a pot and they have now rooted. More plants! I planted the originals in a sunny location and they look great. Love the color contrast with other plants.
Small plant but growing well and looks happy!
I first ordered 3 Lidakense Stone and they were so beautiful and doing so well I ordered two more. All five are thriving.
Plants arrived healthy and thriving. Planted in garden where they continue to thrive and are growing wonderfully
They are doing great
The two stone crops are doing well and have settled in nicely. I always get great plants from Great Garden Plants.
Shipped plant arrived alive and healthy.
Looks great.
Our plants were packed extremely well and were very healthy and we also got great customer service.
Beautiful plant arrived in excellent condition and is growing strong and healthy.
The lidakense stonecrop is doing great! Was worried because I had to plant them during the July heatwave but just couldn’t leave them in their shipping pots any longer. They’ve been in the ground a month now and are doing fine. August was hotter than July but they still seem to be tolerating the extreme heat well.

Can these do well in mostly shady spaces? I know it says sun/part sun but just wondering
Hello! 'Lidakense' Stonecrop will lean toward the sun if grown in too much shade. They need at least 4 hours of sunlight a day, less than that may inhibit growth and foliage color.
Do these need to be planted in spring or summer?
(I live in Central Texas)
You can plant in the fall, spring or summer. Right now is a good time to plant. The rule of thumb for fall planting is to get the plants in the ground 6 weeks before the first HARD frost in your area.
Do you plant them in spring or fall. I am from Indiana
You can plant in Spring or Fall.
Fall is a great time for planting! The rule of thumb for fall planting is to get the plants in the ground 6 weeks before the first HARD frost in your area.
The rule of thumb when planting in the spring is to make sure the threat of frost is gone in your area. If you are not sure when that date is, you can ch
