I have stuck pieces in the ground and had new plants the next spring. I
figure - if it is between the compost heap or sticking a cutting in the
dirt - well, why not? It will either grow or it won't. And many things
do grow.

I don't think I'd try to dig up a plant and divide it too late in the
season, but if it is a plant that dies back and some pieces of it are
still viable... give it a try. Not like this costs you anything.

I have had considerable success at propagating stonecrop by cuttings. I am
currently waiting for a landscaping company to come in and do some heavy
boulder-moving. After they leave, I hope to have enough time to landscape
around them before the soil freezes up, which according to the current
long-term forecast may not be for a week or two yet here in Eastern

Ontario.

The sedums that I will be using as source plants have now gone dormant of
course, but I am wondering if I take the cuttings now and stick them in,
will they over-winter OK or should I wait until next spring?
