Pistil said:I have also done this with a tall sedum (I have not tried it with Elsie, as variegated plants are not as vigorous it might not work, but it sure did with a regular one!). I have had the thought that one could buy a gallon sedum plant in spring, then cut off all the stemns and plant them all as well as the rooted one, and then you could fill in a large area for next to nothing!

I have done it with Frosty Morn and the yellow/green one above. It takes them a little longer so I start in April taking cuttings. I had a bad year this year because the deer, groundhog, and rabbits love them so they ate a lot of the tall sedum in the Spring.

If you take tip cuttings early in the Spring they branch out faster and you have more blooming heads.
