They have succulent leaves & clusters of tiny star-shaped flowers in summer. Germination Instructions Sedum seeds can be sown directly outdoors when the temp. is above about 10oC, but best to sow indoors at any time of year. Mix the seed with a little dry sand as an aid sowing as sedum seeds are tiny. Surface sow onto moist, well-drained seed compost. Just cover seed with a sprinkling of vermiculite.

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle to 8cm pots & grow on. Acclimatise & plant out after danger of frost has passed. Growing Instructions Prefers any ordinary soil which is well-drained in full sun. Will tolerate partial sun. Sedums thrive on neglect. Established plants require little attention. Water only if the weather has been dry. Cultivation Instructions Cut back after flowering to maintain shape. Plants may be divided in spring or autumn. Will self-seed.
