Sedum (Sedum Acre Oktoberfest) - If you want a drought tolerant, low growing, hardy, creeping selection of Stonecrop, than this Sedum ground cover plant is an excellent selection for you. Sedum grows great in hot, dry sites with poor soil. Sedum Acre Oktoberfest is a fast-spreading evergreen variety which forms a low carpet of tiny succulent green leaves, smothered by star-shaped creamy-white flowers all summer long. Due to the fact that Oktoberfest ground cover plant is a fast grower, it is best to keep away from other low, slower growing plants or they may get smothered. Many people even use this Sedum seed as a lawn substitute as it tolerates moderate foot traffic once it is well-established.
Sedum has tiny seeds which should be mixed with finest sand or talcum for an even sowing. Sow Sedum ground cover seed indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost is expected. Use small pots or flats and sterile starter mix. Pre-moisten the starter mix and sow Sedum ground cover seeds on the surface. Press the seed into the moistened soil, and do not cover the Sedum seed. Keep the seeds moist but not saturated until they germinate. Water from the underside of the pots or use a spray bottle and lightly mist the seeds.
