Sedum hispanicum
Spanish stonecrop (Sedum hispanicum) is an evergreen low-growing perennial herb native to Spain. Its flowers of bright yellow or pinkish-red set it apart from similar species. It grows rapidly, and has a spreading habit. It is drought-tolerant and hardy in a range of temperatures. Its narrow, needle-like leaves are deep green and succulent. It enjoys full sun, and the leaves and stems are lined with little hairs that help retain water. Its durability and beauty earned it its common name, and its popularity is growing as a choice for landscapes due to its low-maintenance needs and hardiness.

watering
Spanish stonecrop requires an average amount of water to thrive. Water the plants thoroughly about once a week beneath the foliage and allow the soil to dry between waterings. Do not allow the soil to become soggy or dry out completely for extended periods of time. During heat spells, increase the frequency of watering slightly. Spanish stonecrop can tolerate occasional periods of drought but regular watering is necessary for continued health and flower production. In most climates, Spanish stonecrop requires supplemental summer watering during dry spells.
sunlight
Spanish stonecrop (Sedum hispanicum) does best when exposed to bright, direct sunlight and prefers a minimum of 4 to 6 hours of sunshine every day. Spanish stonecrop is a succulent that thrives in especially dry climates, so it can take full sun for even longer periods. When given enough direct sunlight it can thrive in mild and harsher climates too. For optimal growth and health, Spanish stonecrop should be given direct sun in the morning, which encourages flowering and prevents excessive drying. Filtered light or light shade later in the day can be beneficial for young plants in warm climates.
pruning
Spanish stonecrop should be pruned in the late spring to early summer. You should prune the plant to about half its size, which will help it thicken and fill in gaps. Removing spent flowers and fading foliage will encourage plant to produce new flowers. To keep your Spanish stonecrop happy and healthy, you can tip prune or lightly prune the plant if needed throughout the growing season to encourage branching.
