Sedum Acre Succulent Rooted Starter Plant
Estimated delivery between 27 August and 29 August.
The Sedum Acre Rooted Starter Plant is a young, pre-rooted specimen of the hardy succulent Sedum acre, commonly known as& Goldmoss Stonecrop or Biting Stonecrop. Native to Europe and naturalized in temperate regions, this Crassulaceae family member forms dense mats of tiny, fleshy, bright green leaves that turn golden-yellow in full sun. The rooted starter is acclimated for easy transplanting, ensuring rapid establishment and vigorous growth. Mature plants reach 2-4 inches tall and spread indefinitely, making them ideal for ground cover, rock gardens, or erosion control.

Sedum Acre Rooted Starter Care Guide
Light and Water
- Light: Full sun (6+ hours daily) for vibrant foliage and flowering. Tolerates partial shade but may become leggy.
- Water: Water sparingly only during prolonged droughts. Overwatering causes root rot.
Soil and Fertilizing
- Soil: Well-draining, sandy, or gravelly soil. Avoid rich, clay-heavy mixes.
- Fertilizer: None needed. Excess nutrients weaken growth.
Temperature and Humidity
- Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 3-9. Tolerates frost, snow, and temperatures as low as -30°F (-34°C).
- Humidity: Adapts to dry or moderately humid climates.
Pruning, Propagating, and Repotting
- Pruning: Trim invasive runners if needed. Remove spent flowers to prevent self-seeding.
- Propagating: Divide clumps in spring/fall or scatter stem cuttings on soil—roots easily.
- Repotting: Rarely needed. Refresh container soil every 3-4 years if grown in pots.
Common Problems
- Root rot: Caused by overwatering. Ensure pots or garden beds have excellent drainage.
- Aphids: Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
- Invasive spread: Contain with edging or plant in controlled areas.
- Leggy growth: Due to insufficient light. Move to a sunnier location.
Sedum Acre Rooted Starter: Best Locations & Uses
- Rock gardens: Adds vibrant color and texture among stones.
- Slopes and banks: Stabilizes soil with mat-forming roots.
- Pathways/pavers: Tolerates foot traffic and fills gaps between stones.
- Green roofs: Thrives in shallow, gritty substrates.
- Containers: Ideal for drought-tolerant patio displays.
Note:
Mildly toxic if ingested. Keep away from pets and children.
