Sedum Plants
Could this be the easiest plant you'll ever grow? Strictly speaking, sedum is a succulent, which comes in a huge range of colours, shapes and heights to add texture and tone to your garden. Plant sedum in a border, rock garden or path edge for maximum impact. These bright clumps of low growing foliage are practically unkillable and need very little care. They flower in summer, attracting bees and butterflies to your patch or pots. Our sedums are grown right here in the UK, by our dedicated growers with over four decades of nursery experience!
Which sedum?
Sedums can, broadly speaking, be split into two main categories: border sedums and ‘true’ sedums, also referred to as stonecrops. Both types are drought tolerant, as tough as old boots, and highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinators (making them a fantastic addition to wildlife gardens). Border sedums tend to be a bit taller than true sedums, featuring upright flower stems emerging from their foliage clumps.
Planting schemes and partners
If you have a rock garden, then sedums should pretty much automatically be your first port of call. Their mat forming habit, ability to withstand dry conditions, and fondness for nooks and rocky crevices, makes them perfect for rockeries, gravel gardens and even eco roofs. Don’t go thinking that sedum doesn’t perform well in a more traditional bedding display, though! A tendency to grow low makes them a fantastic addition to the front of any border.
Growing tips
There’s hardy… And then there’s sedum. These plants are seriously tough, and able to withstand temperatures below -20°C! Plant in a sunny spot, in moderately fertile and well draining soil. Once fully established, sedums are nice and low maintenance. They don’t require much watering, whatsoever, and are drought tolerant once established. Beyond an initial few months of watering after planting, the only other time you’ll need to water it is if the top inch of soil feels bone dry. Give your sedums a nice manure mulch around their base in spring.
