What is the plant
The Sedum is a genus of the succulent family with four hundred to five hundred varieties. Many varieties are grown as Sedum-garden plants because of their colourful character. Most varieties come from the northern hemisphere. These plants are succulents that store their water in their leaves. The plants grow to approximately 2cm tall, eventually lean back to the ground and trail producing new roots where it touches soil. They produce a cluster of yellow flowers on tall stems. They are hardy and look stunning in rockeries, hanging baskets and water-wise gardens.

How to Care for the Plant
Water
Sedum plants, also called stonecrop, require very little water to survive. the fleshy, plump leaves store water, making sedums tolerant of drought and dry, harsh conditions. all plants need water, and sedums are no exception — the trick is to water enough to keep the plants happy without watering too much.
Pruning
Never remove more than a third of the foliage in any one year and to cut just above a node on the stem.
Fertilizer
Mix the recommended amount of liquid fertilizer and water in a watering can. Then simply pour the mix into the soil as if you're watering the plant.
