Sedum is the largest genus of the succulent family (Crassulaceae). Sedums can be found almost all over the world, but primarily in the Northern Hemisphere.
The perennial varieties, some of which are indigenous to our region, are popular rock plants. All Sedum species have a typical succulent leaf, a handy water reservoir during the summer. This is what makes them so suitable for green roofs.
The taller sedum varieties make wonderful border plants and are also suitable for bouquets and flower arranging. The low varieties make excellent rock plants and flourish in pots, tubs and planters. They are also ideal for edging flower beds.
Sedums can be planted in normal and sandy soils. Marshy ground is unsuitable. Sand, gravel or rubble can be mixed in, if necessary. Planting time
Sedums can be planted all year round, expect during heavy frosts. Water the plants in the summer.
The planting distance depends on the height of the sedums:
The planting distance can be doubled for fast-growing, low varieties.
Sedums require no special care. Every spring, work the surface of the soil and weed. Fertiliser can be worked into the soil in April to encourage growth and flowering. During the flowering period, remove faded flowers to keep the plant in optimal condition.
