Sedum divergens is a sprawling succulent with branched stems that root at the nodes and glossy green or reddish-green leaves. It grows up to 4 inches (10 cm) tall and spreads to several feet across. Leaves are fleshy, rounded, up to 0.4 inches (1 cm) long, and arranged neatly in opposite pairs.
All sedums are remarkably easy to grow and propagate, and you can only harm them by overwatering or planting them in overly moist soil. With upright varieties, a single branch or even a leaf stuck into the ground will quickly root and become a new plant.
Sedums require little to no fertilizer. Oftentimes, a thin layer of compost added to the soil will be all of the nutrients the plants need.
Use sharp pruners or garden shears to take the stems back to within an inch (2.5 cm) of the soil in early spring. Take care to avoid the new growth that is coming up. Pinching will enforce bushier plants. Pinch off the new growth near the soil and it will form a more compact stem and thicker growth.
These plants are known for being fairly hardy when it comes to experiencing drought or cold temperatures.
