How to Grow and Care
When growing Sedum, keep in mind that Sedum plants need very little attention or care. They will thrive in conditions that many other plants thrive in, but also do just as well in less hospitable areas. They are ideal for that part of your yard that receives too much sun or too little water to support the growth of other plants. A common name for Sedum is Stonecrop, because many gardeners joke that it requires less care and lives longer than stones.
Sedum is easily planted. For shorter varieties, simply laying the plant on the ground where you want it to grow is usually enough to initiate the growth of the Sedum plant there. They will send out roots from wherever the stem touches the ground and root itself. To ensure the plant starts well, add a very thin layer of soil covering.
You can break off one of the stems for taller Sedum varieties and push it into the ground where you want to grow it. The stem will root very easily, and a new plant will be established in a season or two.
