    In your zone I would wait for spring planting. Here is growing info if you have not yet read it: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/cacti-succulents/sedum/sedums-plants.htm

    As for being resistant to deer, yes, for the most part they are. However, that said, you should be aware that being deer proof is something altogether different. No plant is 100% deer proof as they will eat anything if hungry enough.

    Oh, yes, sedum should perform very well. Most succulents would do nicely.

    I am sorry to hear about your plants. If the stems are still alive, they will regrow their leaves. I would check the stems and if they are still alive, care for the plant as you normally would and you should see leaves start to grow in a few weeks. These articles will help you as well: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/how-to-tell-if-a-plant-is-dead-and-how-to-recover-an-almost-dead-plant.htm, https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/tips-for-saving-cold-damaged-plants.htm

    Sedums need very little care. In fact, most potted sedums are killed by over care rather than under care. Really, all they need is proper watering. Water only when the soil is dry.

    As for pruning, most sedums do not need pruning, but if yours is getting unruly, you can simply cut off unwanted growth with a sharp, clean pair of scissors.

    Many succulents of the genus sedum could fit the bill. Here is one for "creeping blue sedum" that has leaves very similar to creeping jenny:

    Generally, watering for the first couple weeks should be sufficient time for the roots to establish. The, water only when the soil is dry.
