Sunsparkler® Wildfire Stonecrop Sedum Care

Once established, this plant is drought tolerant. The colors will be more vivid in full sun and drier growing conditions. Add a layer of compost when planting and then once a year.

The dried flower heads remain attractive in the winter garden. Wait until spring to cut them back. If you mulch your gardens, only add a thin layer around this sedum. Add just enough for weed control but not enough to retain excess moisture. Sedums don’t like competition from weeds.

Sunsparkler® Wildfire Stonecrop Sedum Spacing

Space individual plants 19 inches apart to give this ground cover room to spread out. It will be happier when given room to grow.
