Double Martini Stonecrop Sedum Care

As an easy-to-grow perennial, the Double Martini Stonecrop Sedum likes to be grown on poor to average soil that is free-draining. Fertilizing or overly rich soil may cause this plant to flop. Preferring full sun, this sedum loves a hot and sunny border. Watering is required until it is established, after which, it is relatively drought tolerant. 

As a low-maintenance plant, the Double Martini Stonecrop Sedum only needs to be pruned once a year. It is best to wait to cut back the plant to ground level in spring, as its seed heads can be left to provide winter interest over the colder months. To promote bushy growth or to control its height, the growing tips can be pinched out in early summer.

Double Martini Stonecrop Sedum Spacing

This stunning perennial grows to about 12 inches high by 18 inches wide over time. If planting out in groups, space plants 18 inches apart.
