    I really love the colors of this Sedum both in and out of bloom. I fertilized mine in the spring and a too open/floppy form was the result. I was informed, on our Sedum forum, that fertilizer and a good soil aren't a good combination for upright Sedum in general. As an experiment I pruned the branches back in early July and the result was a very beautiful, although short, display.
