I started out with one 3" pot of this stuff & it spread nicely throughout the season. The next year I cut many longer stems, clipped off the bottom leaves, & planted them in holes dug with a screwdriver. All survived & the following year many bloomed with the familiar yellow sedum flower.

I've started pots to give to friends & all are doing well!
