watering
Stonecrop (Sedum 'Cutting Edge') needs regular watering to promote healthy growth and flowering. The soil should be allowed to dry out between waterings, as this plant prefers to be on the dry side. During the summer months, water the plant deeply at least once every week to 10 days, making sure the soil is saturated. During cooler months, water only once every 2 to 3 weeks. As with all plants, wilting foliage is an indicator of watering needs.
sunlight
Stonecrop (Sedum 'Cutting Edge') is best grown in an area with full sun, which means it needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. In very hot climates, some afternoon shade may be beneficial to avoid scorching during the hottest part of the day. When grown in ideal conditions, stonecrop will bloom from late summer through early fall with small star-shaped flowers in shades of yellow, pink, or white. For optimal performance, water your stonecrop regularly and provide soil with good drainage.
pruning
Stonecrop (Sedum 'Cutting Edge') should be pruned back in late winter or early spring just before the leaves and buds appear. Reduce the larger stems to 1/3 their size and remove any dead or damaged stems. This will help to improve air circulation and keep the plant looking neat and tidy. For optimal growth and flowering, this plant should be pruned back again in the late summer, after it has finished flowering. Again, prune the stems back to 1/3 their original size and remove any dead or damaged stems. If desired, some of the stems can be removed to control the size of the plant.
