Highlights
Sedum kamtschaticum f. variegatum: Lush groundcover of deep green leaves outlined with creamy white edges. It is native to rocky slopes from the Ural Mountains to Mongolia. It makes a beautiful, easy-to-grow ground cover, even in poor soil and full sun. Expect many small, yellow blooms in mid-summer and stems up to 6.0" tall.
PLEASE NOTE: Dormant in winter months. If you order November - March, plant will arrive dormant, but will typically re-sprout by mid-May in most climates.
Hardy Sedum are easy, frost-hardy plants that thrive outdoors with full sun and great drainage. Plant in raised beds or containers with drainage holes and mix 50% coarse sand, pumice, or perlite into the soil to prevent rot. Regular water will help young plants establish roots and spread quickly, but mature Sedum can tolerate several months of drought. If you choose to propagate by hand, cut off the top 2.0"+ of stem and transplant it to re-root.

Water will be your primary issue, as the only zone 11 places in the US are either very dry or very humid. If the issue is dryness then the solution is to simply water more. If you live in a humid area then you'll have to protect your plant from overwatering and excessive rainfall.
Sunlight will be another issue as Aeonium plants are prone to sunburn. You may need to plant these in a somewhat shadier spot in your garden. Just make sure it's not too shady or your plant may stretch. Shade cloth may help tremendously here. It'd be a good idea to read our article on sunburn so you know what to look for if your plant starts losing its vigor.

Succulents need grittier soil than other plants because they are adapted to dry conditions and store water in their leaves. Regular potting soil mixes stay damp for long periods of time, which can cause rot in succulents. Instead, use a sandy, well-draining soil so you can water thoroughly without leaving your succulent in standing water.
