General information about Stonecrop (Sedum):Stonecrop (Sedum) is a genus of plants, varying from creeping rockery plants to large border plants. They have varying flower- and leaf shapes. There is a Stonecrop for every garden. On the whole, Stonecrop like a spot in the sun in quite dry, poor soil. Too much moisture in winter must be avoided. The low varieties of Stonecrop are ideal ground covers. The taller varieties belong in the border where they will attract a lot of insects. Digging these Stonecrop ones up and splitting them every few years will ensure they stay healthy and strong. Some tall varieties of Stonecrop are prone to toppling over. Cut these ones back by half in June. They will then branch and grow less tall, resulting in more but smaller flowers. Stonecrop combines well with Woodland Sage (Salvia nemorosa), SidHollyhock, Blazing Star (Liatris) and Fountain Grass (Pennisetum). Also Baby's Breath (Gypsophila paniculata) and Bee Blossom (Gaura), with their open growth look good next to Stonecrop.Stonecrop - Sedum 'Firecracker'
