Details
Sedum rupestre, also known as Sedum reflexum and commonly known as reflexed stonecrop, blue stonecrop, Jenny's stonecrop, stone orpine or Prick-madam is a vigorous evergreen perennial species that is native to northern, central, and southwestern Europe. Sedum Rupestre grows up to 15?30 cm (6?12 in.) on rocks, slopes or meadows. This ornamental plant has electric golden-yellow foliage. It blooms in June and July with beautiful yellow star-shaped flowers. The flowers are hermaphrodite are pollinated by bees and flies. Its attractive succulent needle-like leaves remain gold in color throughout the season. The leaves are edible raw or cooked. A slightly astringent sour taste makes this plant a useful addition to a green tossed salad. It can also be added to soups or used as a vegetable. You need to provide well-drained, gravelly soil in full sun. It can grow in partial-shade and prefers dry or moist soil. Reflexed Stonecrop can tolerate drought and is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. Sedum Rupestre grows best in poor soils. Hardiness zone : 5

Germination Sowing directly into small pots is recommended. Use seed spoons if you have them or mix the fine seeds with fine sand to aid even distribution. Fill pots with an acid-free, free-draining soil seed compost.

Tap the pot to settle the compost, but do not firm the mixture down. Stand the pots in water, moisten thoroughly and drain. Seeds should be scattered very lightly over the surface.
Sedums require light for germination. Cover seed lightly with vermiculite after sowing.

If possible, place in a propagator otherwise, secure a polythene bag around the pot or cover the container with glass or and place in a warm place.

Keep soil slightly moist but not wet. Some people stand the containers on a tray of damp sand, so that they do not dry out.
The seeds germinate best at temperatures of 18 to 22øC (65 to 72øF). Most seedlings appear within 14 to 21 days.

Be careful to keep the top of the compost damp but not wet. As soon as the first seeds have germinated, remove the plastic or raise the lid slightly to permit circulation of air.

Six to eight weeks after sowing transplant or thin out to 1 to 3 plants into a 9 to 10 cm pot or about 3 to 5 plants into an 11 to 15 cm pot. Avoid very large pots, because the substrate in pots that are too large will be permanently wet and wetness can cause growth inhibition and a poor root development.
