Oh dear !

I have a sedum lime zinger which i planted out a couple of months ago. When i came back from holiday it had flopped and was looking rather sorry for itself. I trimmed it back as the middle looked as though it might grow. I have since read if it flops give it the Chelsea chop. I think i am a few months too early ! Will i have killed it or is there anything i can do to help it recover. Made a mental note read up before doing anything if not sure image

    The Chelsea chop is done in May time. Not sure from your post when you did this? Sedums are fairly hardy plants - I am sure you will not have killed it.

  • Not sure what could have 'flopped'  - Sedum Lime Zinger is a low-growing and spreading ground-cover sedum.  It's pretty tough - I'm sure it'll survive as long as it has good drainage and doesn't sit in a boggy spot over winter.

    You could have used the bits you cut off for cuttings.
