Stonecrop
Sedum spectabile, also known as showy stonecrop, is a perennial succulent belonging to the Crassulaceae family. Stonecrop is highly valued for its hardiness and late-summer flowering.
The Stonecrop Plant
Stonecrop has an upright, clump-forming habit, with fleshy stems reaching 45-80 cm in height. The leaves of stonecrop are simple, slightly serrated, fleshy and arranged opposite or in threes along the stem.
In summer stonecrop produces a multitude of star-shaped pink flowers, gathered in clusters, that persist until the first autumn frosts.
How to Sow Stonecrop
Sow stonecrop between January and March, using a well-draining succulent-specific potting mix. Cover the seeds with a light layer of substrate and keep moist until germination.
How to Grow Stonecrop
Stonecrop prefers full sun and well-drained soil, even poor soil. It is highly resistant to both drought and cold, tolerating temperatures down to -15°C. Water stonecrop moderately, always letting the soil dry out well.
In spring it is helpful to remove stonecrop's previous year's dry stems before new growth begins.
Growing Tips for Stonecrop
Stonecrop is ideal for rock gardens, borders and low-maintenance beds. In pots, remove the saucer to avoid waterlogging, the main enemy of this succulent.
Diseases and Pests of Stonecrop
Stonecrop is a very hardy plant, rarely affected by disease. The main risk is root rot caused by waterlogging in poorly drained soil.
Uses and Curiosities of Stonecrop
Stonecrop is also known as St. John's herb for the tradition of harvesting it on June 24th, ancient folk beliefs used it as a sign of a successful marriage. Its flowers are highly visited by bees and butterflies seeking nectar.
