Planting And Care
Once established, sedums require little care. Check your plants regularly to make sure they are not dry and water when needed.
After flowering, cut back the plants to maintain their shape. Remember to divide your plants in the spring or fall to control their spread.
Throughout the summer, divisions and cuttings root readily.
Sedum Burrito Care
Plant sedum seeds in early spring in well-drained, average to rich soil in full sun. Space the plants between 6 inches and 2 feet apart, depending on the type. Low-growing and vigorous species will tolerate partial shade. You can also plant divisions or cuttings instead of seeds. Dig a hole so that the top of the root ball is level with the surface, then place the plant in the hole and fill it in.

Sedum Burrito Special Feature
Pot burrito sedums in a hanging planter or basket so that the stems trail over the edge. Choose a planter with a thick, rounded lip to prevent the stems from breaking or crimping, which they often do in planters with a sharp, narrow edge.
