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. The clump can be dug and divided in the spring and cuttings can be rooted in the summer.
'Brilliant' has greenish-gray foliage and flat clusters of pink flowers. These sedums grow quite well in our southern states. Even in the winter, the dried flower clusters are ornamental.
