I know I saw this somewhere on DG, but I can't remember where. My Autumn Joy always falls over and someone said they always cut it back so it doesn't do that. Will you tell me how far back to cut it and when to stop and let it grow?
Thanks in advance!
Cutting sedum back
I haven't done it yet - will this year because I have the same problem -- here's the advice I got from our local expert --
Cut back to 1 foot through July 4, then let grow -- like mums.
I've been told they are then more robust and don't flop!
Hope this helps - Dax
Dax, thank you so much. I was hoping someone would come to my rescue! I always remember my dad saying: "5 inches high till the 4th of July" on mums, so now I will try to remember that it is 12 inches high till the 4th of July for the sedums. Thanks again!
Joyce...you can probably root those cuttings and make more too!
Oooohhh Marcy...good idea!
Hi Joyce!!!
MMAAARRRRIIIEEEEE!!!!! I didn't even know you were still around! Come and visit in Girl Talk!!
How are things?
I am here all though I have not been online as much!! I missed you all. DO you still have a thread going on somewhere so I can come and visit you?
Joyce, I think if they're flopping it's probably because they're in a spot that's too moist from them. Try moving them to a very dry spot.
Well, they got transplanted from another house last year, and I won't really know until this year how they're going to do. I moved them in July and then we had drought, so hopefully they'll be good where they're at now.
Marie, We still have Girl Talk going on the Parking lot thread...come see us!
Ok I am off to see if I can find you all.
