Plant Spacing

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:

bush distance

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:

More Information

Description Sedum acre 'Aureum' is a foolproof, sun-loving groundcover. Plant this low-growing evergreen sedum and watch it grow up to 12"+ wide in one season! This fast-growing sedum allows you to transform your landscape in no time. Its light green foliage forms a moss-like carpet that turns a buttery bright yellow in spring, adding a touch of sunshine to your landscape after long winters. Sedum acre 'Aureum' tolerates light foot traffic and looks breathtaking planted between pavers and stepping stones. This plant is tough! Aside from tolerating foot traffic, it also tolerates drought, heat, humidity, and poor soil, making it highly adaptable and virtually maintenance-free! Plant this sedum and sit back and relax while it does all the work for you. Did we mention its small needlelike leaves are weed smothering? This sedum makes the perfect solution for those looking for a low-maintenance addition to their landscape. Details Botanical name: Sedum acre 'Aureum'
Common name: Sedum, stonecrop, gold moss stonecrop
Zone: 3 - 9
Sun exposure: Sun (6+ Hours)
Height x width: 2-3" x 12-18"
Flower color: Yellow
Foliage color: Light green, Yellow
Bloom time: Summer
Features: Winter interest, heat tolerant, ground covers, drought tolerant, container plants, cold tolerant, best for beginners
Uses: Accent, alpine and rock, container gardening, edging, erosion control or embankment, ground cover, massing, rock garden, slopes, small spaces
 How To Grow Soil: Needs well-draining soil. Thrives even in sandy to gravelly soils of moderate to low fertility.
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.

Plants are ok, shipping not great!

If I had been able to buy these locally, I would have done it. Sadly, out of the 14 plants, only 2 arrived properly packed. The rest were spilled inside the box. For the cost, I feel that they were quite small. They were alive and, hopefully, they will thrive.

It wasn’t packaged correctly. The soil and plant pieces were loose all throughout the box it was shipped in. I won’t be ordering anything else from this company.

Refused to cancel the order the day before the shipping date

I am out of state trying to help my dying mother-in-law and her stroke victim spouse. The wanted some landscaping done while I’m here. So I ordered some plants to be shipped the day after I would know definitively if I would have to go home (due to illness back there) before the plants would arrive. As soon as I discovered that I would not be here to put the plants in the ground, I canceled the order that was due to ship out the next day. When I called today to verify that the order had been stopped, they said it had shipped early. I won’t be here. My in-laws will not be able to do anything with the plants, including refusing or returning them, and I am out hundreds of dollars. I will never buy from or recommend GGP ever again.

We apologize you're not satisfied with your order. We can only cancel the order if it was placed within 3 business days of the chosen ship date. In this case, we have record of the cancellation taking place the day before the order was shipped. We have a 60-day guarantee on all of our plants, so if there are any issues with your order upon arrival, we'd have you covered under our warranty. Please contact us with any further questions. Hope this helps!
