Okay, here’s my post about how I planted and grew Stonecrop Dragon’s Blood Sedum Spurium:
You know, I’ve always been a fan of plants that are easy to take care of, and this Dragon’s Blood Sedum is no exception. I mean, who wouldn’t want a plant that looks cool and doesn’t need constant attention, right?

So, I started this little gardening project a while back. First thing I did was find a nice, sunny spot in my garden. Apparently, these plants love the sun, and I’ve got just the place. It’s this area that gets sunlight pretty much all day. I cleared out the area, pulled out all those annoying weeds that seem to pop up out of nowhere. I wanted to give my Sedum a good start, so I spent a whole afternoon making sure the spot was clear. This took some time, but it’s worth it in the end.
Getting My Hands Dirty
Next up, I got the plants. I found some at a local nursery. They were these little guys with green leaves and red edges. Looked kind of like tiny succulents. Anyway, I got a bunch of them because I wanted to cover a decent area. After I brought them home, it was time to get my hands dirty. I started planting them, spacing them out a bit so they’d have room to grow. It was pretty easy, just dig a small hole, pop them in, and cover the roots with soil. I felt like a real gardener, you know?
- Dig a small hole.
- Put the plant in.
- Cover the roots with soil.
- Water them well.
Keeping an Eye on Them
For the first year, I did have to keep an eye out for weeds. They’re like the uninvited guests of the garden, always showing up when you don’t want them. So, I spent some time every few weeks just pulling them out. It wasn’t too bad, kind of therapeutic, actually. It did help that it was a sunny spot, so I got a nice tan while doing it.
Watching Them Grow
Now, here’s the cool part. These Sedum plants are like the chameleons of the plant world. They started off with green and red leaves, but as they grew, they started to fill in the area, kind of like a living carpet. I used them along my garden path, and they just spilled over the edges, making it look really natural. And when I lined them up against the stone wall, they started trailing down, which looked super awesome, like something out of a gardening magazine.
Enjoying the Results
Honestly, it’s been pretty rewarding watching these plants grow. They’re low-maintenance, look great, and add a unique touch to my garden. They’re perfect for filling in spaces, lining paths, or even just adding some color to rock gardens. Plus, they’re evergreen, so they look good all year round. It’s like they’re always there, doing their thing, without needing me to fuss over them.
So, that’s my story about growing Dragon’s Blood Sedum. It’s been a fun, easy project, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. If you’re looking for a plant that’s easy to care for and looks great, I definitely recommend giving these a try. You might find yourself becoming a Sedum fan, just like me!
