    Sedum 'Autumn Joy' (Autumn Joy) gets about 2 feet tall or sometimes taller. Check out the photos on these Sedum plants that are in the GardenStew database.Sedum

    It depends on which species you have.

    Any chance of a photo?

    Are you talking about hardy Sedums in the ground outside or potted house plants?

    Sedums come in various shapes and sizes. From ground covers to 'Autumn Joy' that can grow to a healthy 2 feet that flops from being top heavy.

    Sedums can freely be pruned to produce a more bushy plant that wont flop. Growers do this all the time to make a plant look full for selling purpose.

    Do the same and plant your cuttings (no special treatments, simply plant and keep a bit moist) to produce more Sedum.
