Sedum hybridum

Native to dry areas, Hybrid stonecrop does best in full sun, its native habitat having intense sunlight and very little shade. It will also tolerate partial sun, providing some flexibility in its growth.

Although Hybrid stonecrop can tolerate some heat, it mainly thrives and grows in cooler seasons and becomes dormant in summer. In hot summer temperatures, provide shade to prevent scorching from intense sunlight. Watering should be reduced or stopped during the hottest period to avoid root rot. It shows vigorous growth in winter and spring, and will continue to grow steadily as long as temperatures don’t fall too low.

For Hybrid stonecrop, apply light doses of fertilizer one to two times a year during the growing season. Do not fertilize in winter and summer, when the plant is dormant. Cut back on fertilizer for repotted plants and wait a couple of months after repotting before fertilizing. Fertilizing helps sustain healthy growth and promotes blooming.
