Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Give this plant at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to keep the stems sturdy and upright. While it can survive in partial shade, too little sun causes the stems to stretch and flop over, ruining the dense, mounded habit you want.
  • Soil: Excellent drainage is non-negotiable for Sedum; think gritty, sandy, or rocky textures rather than rich loam. If you have heavy clay soil, you must plant in a raised berm or mix in gravel to break it up, as wet feet will quickly rot the roots.

Watering Requirements

During the first season, water deeply once a week to help the root system anchor itself in the ground. Once established, this plant is incredibly drought-tolerant and prefers the "soak and dry" method where you let the soil dry out completely between waterings. If you are inconsistent or overwater, the plant will become mushy and prone to root rot rather than just wilting.

Pruning Tips

Frosted Fire Sedum blooms on new wood, so the best time to prune is in very early spring before new green rosettes emerge from the soil. Simply cut the old, dried stems down to the ground to clear the way for fresh growth. Many gardeners leave the flower heads standing through winter because they look great with snow on them and provide structure when everything else is flat.

Fertilizer Needs

Skip the heavy chemical fertilizers and simply apply a thin layer of compost around the base in spring. You should specifically avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers or "bloom boosters" because they force rapid, weak growth that cannot support the heavy flower heads. If you treat this plant too well with rich food, it will punish you by splitting open and falling apart in the center.
