 How to Grow and Care

Different sedum plants are propagated in different ways depending on the species. Those that are low-lying groundcovers can be propagated by seed in mid-spring. You can also divide the plant or root stem cuttings throughout summer to produce identical sedum plants.

Seeds are very tiny. Be careful to space them appropriately, depending on the variety of sedum you are planting. Because they are so small, you can just press them into the soil. There is no need to cover them with an extra layer of soil. Seeds can be purchased at many garden stores or online. If direct sowing from seed, seeds should be planted in fall so they have a chance to settle in before the following growing season.


To collect seeds from your existing sedum plants, take browned fruit from a drying flower, and allow it to dry out indoors. Once it is dry you should be able to shake it on top of a piece of paper to collect the tiny, dust-like seeds. These can be planted in a moist, sandy planting medium, and misted until plants begin growing. After a year, these can be hardened off and transplanted outside. This is a very tedious method, and is seldom used—most gardeners opt to grow new sedum plants by division or cuttings, which is much easier and faster...
