Growing Non-GMO Sedum Acre Golden Carpet Flower Seeds

Start Sedum Acre Golden Carpet seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the final frost date. Acre Golden Carpet seeds will germinate in 2-4 weeks. Once germinated, move under a fluorescent grow light for 16 hours of light per day until two sets of true leaves have developed. Transplant Acre Golden Carpet seedlings to an indoor pot and "harden off" if transplanted outside. For direct sowing, plant Sedum Acre Golden Carpet seeds in average, medium-dry, and well-drained soil in full sun. Be sure to plant Acre Golden Carpet seeds at the southern end of any growing area. Since they only reach 6 inches tall at most, they can be easily left in shadow from other plants. Acre Golden Carpet seeds grow heat and drought-tolerant succulents that are known to thrive in poor, dry soils. Cut back spent blooms after flowering to prolong vitality into summer.

Sedum blooms and spreads throughout the summer and will die back at the first frost but will come back next year. We recommend either using a slow-release fertilizer or simply working organic compost into the soil each spring to boost growth. Use mulch to keep weeds down, especially in the early days, so that the plants have a chance to establish themselves. Cut back the fading blooms to extend color and promote branching.

About Sedum Acre Golden Carpet Garden Seeds

Sedum will self-seed and volunteers will come up the following year if seeds are not collected. They can become quite prolific if left to spread unchecked. This can be good when you want it to spread over a rock garden, but should be maintained once it reaches your desired size.

Sedum spurium is also non-toxic for humans and pets. While some succulent-like plants are poisonous, this variety is even considered edible.

The Acre Golden Carpet Sedum flower has many half-inch wide blooms of single-petaled, star-shaped flowers.

Sedum plants store water in their leaves, which makes them wonderfully drought-tolerant. These hardy plants are sure to thrive as long as they don’t get too much water and are not allowed to dry out.

Sedum acre, or sedum, is native to the warm, arid regions of Europe and the Mediterranean and can also be called Stonecrop, Goldmoss Stonecrop, Goldmoss Sedum, Caucasian Stonecrop, Two-row Stonecrop, or Golden Carpet Stonecrop.

Tips From Our Gardeners

”I have a sedum of this variety in an indoor mixed succulent planter I have. The small leaves fill in the gaps nicely between the larger, more flashy succulents such as aeonium and echeveria."
