#ProPlantTips for Care:

Easy to grow in full sun to part shade, but for the best color, the most flowers, and the strongest most compact growth - you need to plant your Cherry Tart in at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Sedum needs to be planted in a well-drained location for them to do their best. This perennial will tolerate most soil types, even thriving in poor soils, and is very drought-resistant once established. Add a 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch around the root zone to keep more moisture consistency in the soil. It's easy to do a quick cleanup of this low-maintenance plant in the early spring - just cut the dried stems down to the ground.
