Sedum Emperor’s Wave Groundcover Seed
Sedum (Sedum Telephium Emperors Wave) – Start Sedum seeds and grow this newer variety of Stonecrop for the flower bed. Sedum Telephium Stonecrop has succulent bluish-green pointed leaves. Its sturdy, dark stems look wonderful with the carmine flowers. The Sedum flower with umbrella-like heads blooms from late summer until fall, and it has a height of 16 inches and spreads about the same amount. In fall, the flower clusters hold their form and turn brown giving interest to the fall and winter display. Sedum Emperor’s Wave is a great choice for beds, borders, and it’s especially stunning when planted in mass groupings. It makes a great cut flower, and it attracts butterflies and bees.
Sow Sedum seeds indoors 6 – 8 weeks before the last frost is expected. Use small pots or flats and sterile starter mix. Pre-moisten the starter mix and sow 5 – 7 seeds per container. The Sedum Telephium seed is exceptionally small, so only press the seed into the moistened soil, and do not cover it. Keep the Sedum seeds moist but not saturated until they germinate. If seeds do not germinate, a cold period is recommended. Place tray or pots into the refrigerator for 1 – 2 weeds, and then repeat the warm temperature again. Germination can be erratic.
Sedum flower care includes trimming the flowers back either in the fall or in the spring to neaten their appearance. Sedum Stonecrop prefers to be planted in full sun and in well-drained even gritty soil. Perennial Sedum plants will tolerate most soil types and is drought resistant once it is established.
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.

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 22°C (65 to 72°F). 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.
