Maintenance:

To keep your Sedum acre 'Aurea' thriving and looking its best, follow these simple maintenance tips:

1. Sunlight: Plant 'Aurea' in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. It thrives in bright sunlight and can tolerate some shade.

2. Watering: 'Aurea' is drought-tolerant once established but appreciates regular watering during the first growing season. Water deeply and then allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot.

3. Soil: 'Aurea' prefers well-draining soil. It adapts well to various soil types, including sandy or rocky soils. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

4. Fertilization: 'Aurea' generally does not require much fertilization. However, you can apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring if desired, following the manufacturer's instructions.

5. Pruning: Trim back any dead or faded flower heads to promote new growth and maintain a tidy appearance. In early spring, you can also trim back the foliage to encourage fresh growth.

6. Division: Every few years, you can divide 'Aurea' to rejuvenate the plant and control its spread. This is best done in spring or early fall.

7. Winter Care: 'Aurea' is a hardy plant but may benefit from a layer of mulch in colder regions to protect the roots from extreme temperatures.
