watering

Your Purple Autumn Stonecrop should be watered about 2-3 times a week, just enough to keep the soil mildly moist but not soggy. If the plant is placed in an area that receives direct sun for more than a few hours a day, it may need more frequent watering. Make sure to water the soil thoroughly until water runs out of the drainage hole in the bottom of the pot. You can reduce the amount of water during winter months, as the plant requires less water when it is dormant.

sunlight

Purple Autumn Stonecrop (Sedum 'Lynda Windsor') will do best when it is exposed to full sun. This means that it should be placed in an area that receives direct sunlight for at least 6 hours daily. It can tolerate partial shade but may not flower as much. If the plant is grown in a pot, it should be placed in an area that will receive at least 4 hours of direct sunlight. The Purple Autumn Stonecrop should be planted in well-draining soil and will benefit from an extra boost of fertilization once or twice a month.

pruning

Purple autumn stonecrop (Sedum 'Lynda Windsor') should be pruned annually in late winter or early spring. Pruning should be moderate, removing no more than 25-30% of the stem length and a few of the oldest branches. This will promote a bushier, more compact growth habit and encourage the plants to produce an abundance of new foliage. Prune off any dead or withered stems and flowerheads to maintain a neat, healthy plant appearance.
