Good question!
Although Sedum plants (and especially stonecrops) are very tough, Roundup is a potent herbicide and, of course, it doesn't discriminate between plants you want and plants you don't want.
If you are going to use Roundup, I highly recommend getting a sprayer with as little misting as possible. You want to be very precise when it comes to Roundup. Also, try not to put Roundup in the soil, as much as possible, because it can stay active for a little over a year, although the reports on this vary quite dramatically.
Roundup enters a plant by being absorbed through it's leaves, so you shouldn't have to put any on the soil directly… See full answer »

Deer are a real nuisance.
However, all Sedum are considered to be deer resistant. Some are more resistant than others but the deer will avoid them all.
However, from personal experience, I can say that even though a plant is "deer resistant" the deer will pull it up anyway. They won't eat it, mind you, they'll just pull it up. Whether the deer are just trying to thin out plants that they don't like, or whether it's just being plain malicious (the option I prefer to believe), they sometimes just decide to pull whatever it is up.
I have yet to see a deer pull up any Sedum in our display beds though, despite one of the Lewisia plants (which are suppose to be native with the deer), getting the proverbial axe. I hope this helps!

Spring and fall tend to be great, temperate seasons for planting outdoor succulents. Just be sure that you plant after the final frost in spring and at least one month prior to the first expected frost in fall. Young, freshly planted succulents do not tolerate extremes like frost, drought, and high heat as well as mature, established succulents can.

You've come to the right place!
I'm attaching a link to this post that will take you to our store page. However, I've filtered it so the only plants that show up will be plants that hang and plants that creep along the ground. I hope that will be helpful but I also have some specific recommendations; not all of them are Sedum. These are:
Sedum rupestre 'Silver'
Sedum sexangulare
Sedum acre 'Aureum'… See full answer »

Hardy Sedum can tolerate being stepped on occasionally, but not regular foot traffic. This makes them a great candidate around stepping stones, but not for high-traffic areas.
• Staff Answer
Yes! Most Sedum keep all of their above ground foliage in the winter. A few species like Sedum spurium and Sedum telephium lose some of their foliage but come back in the spring.
• Staff Answer
Yes! At our greenhouses, we have a few big pots of Sedum that are around the office door. They seem to be doing well!
• Staff Answer
Good questions! Winter dormancy depends on the species. Types like Sedum spurium and S. kamtschaticum do die back in winter and re-sprout in spring. But things like S. reflexum and S. album maintain their foliage through winter.
And yes, piling on snow is perfectly acceptable and welcomed in fact! It acts as insulation to give your Sedum more consistent conditions through winter.
I hope this helps!

Hello!
Our most cold hardy plants are rated at zone 4. However, some of these may be able to survive zone 3 extremes too.
Any Sedum labeled as a stonecrop tends to be very hardy. Sedum spurium is another good one.
