stonecrop

Stonecrop (Sedum 'Dazzleberry') should be watered thoroughly, when its soil feels slightly dry to the touch. It is important that you do not overwater, as this can cause the plant to rot and die. The best way to water this plant is to run the tap until the water is lukewarm, then slowly pour it on the soil, allowing the water to seep through and saturate the soil. During the growing season, water your Stonecrop every 7-10 days. During the dormant season, reduce the frequency of waterings to every 3-4 weeks.

Stonecrop plants (Sedum ‘Dazzleberry’) thrive in full sun, preferably 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Planting them in a warm southern, western, or eastern exposure of your garden is ideal, as this will allow for the longest period of full sun exposure. If you don’t have enough direct sunlight, you can plant them in bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid placing this plant in a shaded area or overhanging trees as it will reduce blooming and its overall quality.

Stonecrop should be pruned in early spring, before new growth begins. For best results, prune as the plant is still dormant. Prune up to 1/3 of the foliage by cutting it back to just above the soil. This will encourage new vigorous growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or diseased parts of the plant. It is also a good idea to remove any weak or overcrowded stems. If needed, thin out growth for better air circulation.
