I noticed the sedums are quite resilient..and lately, during summer, I have stepped up their watering, and they responded well, so got to adjust my understanding of these succulents Oftentimes, I find myself guilty of holding on to the concept of the plants being drought tolerant way too much...but they love water too, as long as they drain well.

Yes, the sedum really do appreciate water, even though they are drought tolerant. They look much better when treated to regular watering.
