But after they finish blooming, I would not hesitate to stick a shovel down the middle and turn one plant into two or more. <br /><br /> Experts will say that early spring is probably the best time--just as they begin to come up. But honestly I have had no problems doing it all different months. <br /><br />Good Luck!Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-10755366356702497642011-09-18T09:32:43.923-04:002011-09-18T09:32:43.923-04:00Need some advice on the autumn sedum joy.

Your's look beautiful throughout your gardens really adds color this time of year.<br />To answer your question about basil vinegar, leave it in for about 3 weeks, discard the purple basil strain your vinegar into a clean bottle add a little more purple basil and the herb can actually remain in the vinegar after that...

I think Sedum does best with poor soil and no extra attention! :)<br /><br />I had not heard of Autumn Fire until you posted about it. I think I will google it now and find out more.<br /><br />Cher,<br />I don't like the lanky ones either. Anything that flops is not for me.<br /><br />Deb,<br />Thank you for the nice comment.<br /><br />Hi Dorothy,<br />There is only one thing I don't like about it--all the BEES! I have dozens of them on every plant during the warm afternoons.<br /><br />Darla,<br />I have been splitting my Sedums for years. It is difficult to kill this plant. I just jump on shovel in the center of the plant and I have two plants! It does not take long to get a lot of it.<br /><br />Barb,<br />I actually have two different sedums, but they are so similar (one has lighter leaves and smaller blooms).<br /><br />Hi Beth,<br />The sedum in the front gardens is the smaller, lighter-leaved one. I can't for the life of me remember what it's called. Somewhere on this blog I figured it out and wrote about it.Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-57222612740064494922011-09-09T10:16:24.627-04:002011-09-09T10:16:24.627-04:00Zoey, Love your sedum.

I have always had problems with it flopping. Maybe my soil makes it grow so tall it falls over, who knows.

My flower stems on them are long gone....and the bees are sure missing them. I have no new flush on mine and I can see yours are quite "flowery" again.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122524042294993949noreply@blogger.com
