CARE & MAINTENANCE
Sedum (Sedum Stoloniferum) - Every garden has a space for this unique Sedum ground cover plant. Start Sedum Stoloniferum seeds for these pink, star-shaped flowers on trailing plants that spread by stolons. Due to this fact, this Sedum is commonly referred to as Stolon Stonecrop. Sedum Stonecrop is a succulent ground cover, and it holds moisture in its thick, fleshy leaves making it drought tolerant and hardy. This variety of Sedum ground cover grows up to 8 inches tall and can be grown in full sun or partial shade in dry, well-draining, even rocky soils. Stolon Stonecrop is fairly resistant to rabbits.
Sedum has tiny seeds which should be mixed with fine sand for an even sowing. Sow Sedum seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost is expected. Use small pots or flats and sterile starter mix. Pre-moisten the starter mix and sow Sedum ground cover seeds on the surface. Press the Stonecrop seeds into the moistened soil, and do not cover them. Keep the seeds moist but not saturated until they germinate. Water from the underside of the pots or use a spray bottle and lightly mist the seeds. Plant the Sedum seedlings outdoors once sufficient growth has been made. Established plants can be divided every 3 - 4 years for best performance.
