: HI MINE HAVE DRY STEMS COMING OUT FROM THEM BUT THEY DONT HAVE ANY FLOWERS.

: WHY IS THAT AND WHAT DO I DO FOR THE FLOWERS TO COME OUT.

Hi Mayy,
The dry stems are last year's bloom stalks. Just cut them as close to the ground as possible. The stonecrop sedums (the taller ones not the groundcover) don't bloom until summer, so you won't see any flowers until then. Is this the type of sedum you have?

Also, please remove the caps lock on your keyboard. In computer language it means that you are yelling and it's hard on the eyes. Thanks,
Newt
