How to Care for the Plant
Water
Sedums are succulents and very drought tolerant. Keep newly planted sedums well-watered the first year. Once established, they should grow fine without any additional watering.
Pruning
Sedums can be pruned in early summer to reduce their height. Pinch off the growth point to make a bushier plant. However, this will delay flowering. Trim creeping sedums in spring only if they are growing into unwanted areas or to shape the plant.
Fertilizer
Sedums tolerate low-fertility soils. A soil too rich in nitrogen can cause clumping plants to flop and flower later.

Soil
Sedums like a very well-drained soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. Wet, heavy clay can lead to root and stem rot.
