General Information
Family: Crassulaceae
Genus: Sedum
Species: oreganum
Variety: Oregon Stonecrop Sedum
Grown as: Perennial
Growth Habit: Spreading
Maturity (Blooms): Summer
Hardiness: Hardy. Sedum oreganum prefers night temperatures above 55 °F and daytime temperature must be at least 65-70 °F. However, the hot days of summer will not be a problem and the temperature of 100 °F can still produce good quality plants. High temperatures and high humidity can create a lot of disease issues, so stay on the lookout. The plant can tolerate freezing temperatures. When the temperature drops below 50 °F the plant starts to go dormant. If you experiment with a plant that is borderline resistant to freezing temperatures, or if you live in an area where the temperature frequently drops below freezing, then consider growing the plant in containers so you can move them indoors for protection from cold conditions.
Light: Sedum oreganum does best in full sun (6 or more hours of direct sun per day). The plant requires high light to develop strong leaf coloration and will stretch badly under low-light conditions.
Water: Low to Medium. Oregon stonecrop is drought-tolerant but young plants will need supplemental water for the first couple of weeks to establish roots.
