Sedum Groundcover is a cover crop — grown to build and protect the soil rather than for a harvest of its own. Notably, it shrugs off deer and shrugs off dry spells. Its summer flowers are a moderate draw for honeybees and native bees.

Start the season right
Plant sedum groundcover in full sun, once the soil has warmed and frost risk has passed.
Match the soil
Pull a soil test from your local Extension lab to confirm pH and drainage match sedum groundcover's needs before planting.
Water steadily
Keep the root zone evenly moist through establishment. A 2–3 inch mulch layer holds moisture without waterlogging.
Turn it in before it seeds
Cut sedum groundcover down or turn it into the soil before it sets seed, while the growth is still green — that's when it returns the most to the ground.
