Planting guide
Plant in spring in well-drained soil in a sunny position. Improve heavy soils with grit to ensure sharp drainage. Water lightly while establishing, then reduce watering as the plant matures.
Care tips
Avoid overwatering, especially in winter. Trim back any straggly stems in spring to maintain a neat shape. Divide clumps every few years if they become overcrowded.
Winter care
This hardy sedum requires very little winter attention. Leave foliage in place for seasonal interest and trim back any damaged growth in early spring. Ensure soil remains well-drained to prevent rot during wet winters.
