They have succulent leaves & clusters of tiny star-shaped flowers in summer. Germination Instructions Sedum seeds can be sown directly outdoors when the temp. is above about 10oC, but best to sow indoors at any time of year. Mix the seed with a little dry sand as an aid sowing as sedum seeds are tiny. Surface sow onto moist, well-drained seed compost. Just cover seed with a sprinkling of vermiculite. Place in a propagator or seal inside a polythene bag to maintain humidity. Ideal temp. 18-22oC. Germination takes 2-3 weeks approx. Once germinated admit air. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle to 8cm pots & grow on. Acclimatise & plant out after danger of frost has passed. Growing Instructions Prefers any ordinary soil which is well-drained in full sun. Will tolerate partial sun. Sedums thrive on neglect. Established plants require little attention. Water only if the weather has been dry. Cultivation Instructions Cut back after flowering to maintain shape. Plants may be divided in spring or autumn. Will self-seed.

Take some time so see the methods other people use to germinate the seed. 3) Think Nature! What conditions do seeds face? For example a seed from a tropical plant will fall to the warm, wet & dark jungle floor. A seed from the mountains of Europe will fall to the floor in Autumn, then have to endure months of freezing temperatures before germinating in the spring. So as growers, what we are trying to do is to simulate the conditions that the seeds will naturally experience & there are plenty of tricks that can be done to short cut the processes somewhat. 4) Good compost pays dividends. The best investment you can make is to purchase three bags - one of potting compost, one of vermiculite & one of horticultural sand. With these three bags I can make up
