Should You Fertilize Sedums?

Sedums require little to no fertilizer. Oftentimes, a thin layer of compost added to the soil will be all of the nutrients the plants need. You can use an all purpose granular fertilizer with equal amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Use sparingly and water it well into the soil.

What do you feed sedums?

A month after planting, feed them with Miracle-Gro® Shake 'n Feed® All Purpose Plant Food for best growth. This plant food gets its magic from natural ingredients (including earthworm castings, feather meal, and kelp) and will feed your sedum for up to 3 months.

How do you keep sedums blooming?

During the growing season, pinch clumping sedums back once to promote a second bloom of flowers. You can prune creeping sedum any time they become too much for the growing space. In warmer climates, sedums can be pruned at any time without harming the plant growth rate.
