Sedum (Sedum Kamtschaticum) - Also known as Russian Stonecrop this perennial ground cover plant is an attractive semi-evergreen. It is easily grown from Sedum Kamtschaticum seeds, and once established, it has glossy, deep green leaves that are toothed, grows in a mounding habit and is very resistant to drought. In early summer Russian Stonecrop Sedum has half-inch golden yellow, star-shaped flowers that open from pink buds. The flowers are long-lasting and attract bees and butterflies. The Kamtschaticum Stonecrop ground cover plant is extremely drought tolerant and performs in either full sun or partial shade. It's an extremely low-maintenance plant and will always look its best.  A great choice for xeriscape landscaping.

Sedum has tiny seeds which should be mixed with fine sand for an even sowing. Sow Sedum ground cover seeds 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 seeds on the surface. Press the seed into the moistened soil, and do not cover it. Keep the Stonecrop 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. Plant the Sedum seedlings outdoors once sufficient growth has been made. Established plants can be divided every 3 - 4 years for best performance.
