Sedum ‘Boogie Woogie’, known in the garden as Stonecrop ‘Boogie Woogie’, combines yellow-toned blooms with a size that is easy to place in a composition. Among its distinctive details: variegated foliage. The foliage features shades of green and cream, to be highlighted among different textures. The usual flowering period is June-July. Its size of 20 cm by 45 cm reserves it a place at the front of borders and rockeries, without forgetting its neighbors' space. The edges of the leaves contribute to the contrast and deserve a visible spot from the path.

The choice of soil is essential for Stonecrop ‘Boogie Woogie’: well-draining, rather light; avoid waterlogging around the crown. The preferred exposure is full sun. After planting Stonecrop ‘Boogie Woogie’, water enough to thoroughly moisten the root ball. Once established, allow the surface to dry between waterings and prioritize drainage, especially during mild spells. Keep 45 cm as a general spacing between plants; this helps preserve their shape and allows access for care. The indicated hardiness zone is zone 3, to be assessed according to your garden's conditions.

The maintenance of Stonecrop ‘Boogie Woogie’ mainly relies on observing the clump: avoid abundant fertilizers and keep or remove dried inflorescences depending on the desired effect in winter. The fleshy leaves of sedums do not compensate for poorly drained soil; their base must quickly drain excess water. For associations, consider yarrows, catmints, and border salvias in varieties with similar needs. By composing around its size of 20 cm by 45 cm, you will preserve the visibility of its blooms (June-July) and the circulation between plants.
