Sedums come in hundreds of varieties, all in different sizes and colours that change throughout the seasons, so there are myriad ways these succulents can enliven yours outdoors. Use them as expansive groundcovers to turn your path into a colourful carpet. Put them in rockeries or through cracks in stone walls. Or, exploit them as quick spreaders to fill up bare spots in your flowerbeds, shooting up flowering stems that look perfectly at home with traditional perennials. Wherever you put them, they will give you so much more than you give them!
CARE FOR SEDUMS
Aspect Full sun.
Climate Cold temperate, warm temperate, arid, semi-arid, sub-tropical and tropical.
Water Light to moderate (they're hardy and drought-tolerant). Water in new plants a couple of times a week for the first few weeks to encourage root growth.
Soil Well-drained. They thrive in lean, gravelly soil in a rock garden and on sunny slopes.
Planting In spring, summer or early autumn to allow them time to settle into the soil before winter.
Food Fertiliser isn't necessary.
Mulch Spread inorganic mulch such as pebbles, or organic mulch, around but not touching the stems of plants to conserve soil moisture and keep soil temperature even.
