Zones: 3-9
Bloom Span: Two to three months
Growing Conditions: Prefer well drained soil coupled with full sun.
Care: Taller sedum plants are excellent performers that will continue to look great for at least four growing seasons. The flower buds are an attractive addition to the garden well before they actually bloom and continue to be attractive after they have gone to seed, making it unnecessary to deadhead. For those plants that start to look floppy, however, you should shear them back in the early summer. This will form a sturdier plant with a bushier appearance. These plants can go for several years without needing to be divided, but should be divided once the plant begins to thin in the center. They can be propagated through stem cuttings.
Good Species Choices: Autumn Joy (Sedum), Bertram Anderson (also Sedum), Brilliant (also Sedum) Madrona (also Sedum).
