Sedum adolphii - Adolph’s Sedum or Golden Sedum
Sedum adolphii – Adolph’s Sedum or Golden Sedum

This is a plant that can be grown in a container, or used in a rock garden and Sedum adolphii looks great in both.

It is a bit of a scrambling plant, the stems reach out over time and it will form a clump. A golden green clump with attractive waxy foliage and small white flowers in spring.

Care

Best grown in a free draining sandy soil in a position where it gets good sun for most of the day.

A little slow release fertiliser once a year is adequate in most soils.

  1. Use a specialist free draining cactus and succulent potting mix.
  2. Make sure the container has adequate drainage holes.
  3. Plant in a container twice the diameter of the plant itself.
  4. Plant at same depth it was in the old container.
  5. Water in with a liquid seaweed fertiliser.
  6. Do not water again until the soil begins to feel dry.
  7. Do not let the pot or container sit in a saucer of water.
  8. Keep the plant in bright light for best foliage colour. Keep away from frosts.
  9. Use a slow release fertiliser in spring.
