Fertilising a Sedum floriferum 'Weihenstephaner Gold'
For optimal growth and a profusion of yellow blooms, Sedum floriferum 'Weihenstephaner Gold' benefits from regular feeding. Fertilization should be carried out in the early spring as new growth appears, and again at the onset of the flowering period in early summer. A balanced, slow-release granular fertilizer is ideal, as it provides a steady supply of nutrients.
When applying fertilizer, distribute it evenly around the base of the plant, avoiding direct contact with the foliage and stems to prevent burn. Water the area lightly after fertilizing to help integrate the nutrients into the soil. This species, with its creeping widespread growth habit, is not a heavy feeder, so avoid over-fertilization, as excessive nutrients can lead to lush foliage at the expense of flowers.
