Sedum lineare
Stonecrop (Sedum lineare) is an attractive, mat-forming, herbaceous perennial plant, native to Asia. Growing up to 4 inches tall, it has bright green, pointed oval leaves, and small, star-shaped, yellow-green flowers that bloom in mid-summer. Resistant to drought and cold weather, the plant is easy to maintain and is beloved by gardeners as a ground cover. It's a great choice for sunny, dry areas with poor soil, and it also makes an excellent border plant. Stonecrop works well in rock gardens and in dividing up flower beds, and its bright foliage seems to take on an ethereal glow at night. A very attractive, low-maintenance plant, Stonecrop is the perfect addition to any garden!

watering
Stonecrop (Sedum lineare) should be watered deeply and infrequently to ensure that the plant's roots are reaching down and searching for water. During the spring and summer months, when the plant is actively growing and blooming, water the soil deeply once every 7-10 days, and allow the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry out before watering again. During the winter months, when the plant is not actively growing and blooming, cut back on watering until water is needed only every 3-4 weeks or when the soil is dry to the touch. Do not water overly and avoid soil that is wet or soggy.
sunlight
Stonecrop (Sedum lineare) is a succulent plant species that thrives in warm, sunny areas with indirect light. This plant is best placed in a spot that receives 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. During the summertime, it can even tolerate more hours of sunlight if situated in a place with adequate shade for proper protection from the intensity of the midday sun. It is beneficial for the plant to receive morning and afternoon sunlight for at least a few hours every day. In winter, the hours of light should be reduced to give the plant a chance to rest and prepare for the next growing season.
pruning
Stonecrop (Sedum lineare) should be pruned lightly in early spring, before new growth begins. This will encourage denser, more compact growth. Pruning can also be done in late summer if necessary. Trim back overgrown stems, removing any dead or diseased wood. Do not prune more than a third of the plant at a time. This will help avoid excessive shock or dieback.
