Give it full sun all day long, at least 6 hours of direct sunlight is required. During the first season, give it a medium amount of water on a regular basis. After the fleshy roots are well-established in your soil, you can ease off on the supplemental water. We always recommend that you protect your investment with water in a prolonged drought. But Mr. Goodbud Sedum is a water-wise perennial, but do appreciate a 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch around the root zone to keep more moisture consistency in the soil. Leave the dried stalks standing for winter. The large dried flowers catch and sculpt light snowfall in a very interesting way and birds pluck seeds from them for a late-season treat. For a clean-looking appearance, remove the old foliage before new growth begins in the early spring.
