Culture Notes In general, Sedums are tough, low-maintenance plants that are able to grow in just about any place and in any type of soil. Because of their soft, fleshy foliage, however, they are easily crushed with excessive foot traffic. Self propagation is just as common as the established forms of propagation (stem cuttings, seeds and division of plants), and can take place any time of the year. In the spring, cut back to basal foliage and remove dead foliage. The burgundy-red foliage of 'Mohrchen' is toothed and turns deep red in early autumn. If grown in part shade in hot climates, this sedum may require support.
