Growing:
Sow Sedum seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost is expected. Use small pots or flats and sterile starter mix. Pre-moisten the starter mix and sow 5 - 7 seeds per container. The Sedum Telephium seed is exceptionally small, so only press the seed into the moistened soil, and do not cover it. Keep the Sedum seeds moist but not saturated until they germinate. If seeds do not germinate, a cold period is recommended. Place tray or pots into the refrigerator for 1 - 2 weeds, and then repeat the warm temperature again. Germination can be erratic. Sedum flower care includes trimming the flowers back either in the fall or in the spring to neaten their appearance.
