You plant red sedum in well drained soil in a sunny location. The roots are not very deep.
Sedum is best planted in the spring.
Spring is the best time to plant sedum.
Sedum is native to rocky areas in the eastern and east-central United States.
Almost all Sedums you can buy or find are perennials. A few (eg Sedum cepaea) are annuals. A number seed themselves so freely ( depending on your weather conditions where you live) that they are better grown as annuals ( ie grown again from seed), or from cuttings because they put so much effort into flowering and seeding that the remaining plant is in poor shape.
Yes, it is the best way to propagate them, and I have grown many this way. They take root very easily, just place in soil, sand or potting mix. Some varieties can also be multiplied by dividing the roots.
Use a wire carnation ring, available at garden centers.
Mesembryanthemum crystallinum is commonly called the Ice Plant but Sedum spectabile is also sometimes called it too. This shows the best argument for using the Latin or scientific name where possible.
Aphids are the most likely suspects for feeding on and disfiguring your sedum plant. Either the black sedum aphid or the melon aphid may be hiding beneath the leaves and buds of a sedum plant.
Sedum Acre can be pulled back and plant something that is more aggressive where you don't want the sedum.
You can take cuttings of sedum and root them. This is asexual reproduction. However, sedum do have flowers and make seeds. This is sexual reproduction.

Aphids, black vine weevils, fungus gnats, mealybugs, and scale are the kinds of bugs that eat a sedum plant. Gnats and larval weevils focus upon the roots whereas the adult weevils chew upon foliage. Aphids, mealybugs, and scale prey upon foliage and stems to remove the plant's internal, life-sustaining sap.
Move or divide your sedum in the spring because it blooms in the fall. It does not have very deep roots. Plant in a sunny location with well drained soil.
sunflower, strawberry, salvia, sage, sago palm, sedum,
Sedum, comes in many varities and has beautiful blooms. I have those darn slugs....they don't touch the Sedum...and, any type of fern!!
They seem to leave Autumn Joy sedum alone but will eat Xenox sedum.
Small amounts will cause a stomach ache but call your vet.
The biggest predator of sedum is slugs.
Sedum sieboldii was created in 1839.
