How to Grow
Light: Does best in full sun but appreciates some protection from harsh sun and heat exposure in very hot summer regions.
Water: Medium to dry. Considered drought-tolerant once established. Overwatering will impair growth.
Spacing: 1 - 2 ft.
Fertilizing: On average, sedum seldom needed to be fertilized. A handful of all-purpose granular fertilizer sprinkled on the soil each spring is generally all that is needed for poorer soils. If growing in rich soil, it should only be fertilized every other year. Dry granular fertilizers must be watered into the soil.
Winterizing: Does not need mulch in the winter. Remove the debris (such as the remains of showy sedums) from under and around your plants in the late fall and continue to remove any debris as it accumulates. Small animals and bugs may take home in accumulated debris during cold weather.
Maintenance & Pruning: Can cut back in Autumn, after flowering. Divide in spring.
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.
The plant arrived very well packed and quite large. After a few weeks it is really thriving and even starting to bloom. Very happy with this purchase!
We are in zone 6a and planted these late fall. They arrived very healthy and well packaged. Excited to see them next year after winter!
Update. Planted in fall 2021. updated photos show plants in July 2022 after hard Ohio winter. Most are doing well. (the plants are in the front row of latest pics)
Nice healthy plants need far doing great
The sedums arrived in good shape and were planted according to instructions. They seem to be thriving so far.
I love these. The pink flowers came out a couple weeks after planting in late summer. It’s changing over to the fall colors now. I will be thinking of other places to put more in next year.
The plants are growing and doing well. I am anxious to see the blooms and flowers
My 7A garden in NY has had a very dry May. The plants are growing, but they look daintier than I expected. Get back to me later in the season for an update.
Bought 7 plants. They were the plants I needed and wanted, but four out of the seven were super soggy and I had to cut the leaves all back. They all died and didn’t make it. The other three are doing great. Customer service was great. But not for those ones that died, I would give five stars.
Is this serum rabbit and deer resistant?
Rock 'N Round™ 'Pure Joy' Stonecrop is rabbit resistant, but isn't particularly deer resistant. You may want to use a deer repellant spray or other method to deter deer if they are a problem in your area.
