Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Blue-gray narrow needle-like succulent foliage sits in dense whorls along the stems of this somewhat of a sub-shrub-like Sedum. Sedum griseum makes an easy container specimen plant or can be used in combination with other sedums and succulents. This is a native of Mexico and is not tolerant of hard frosts and freezes so bring it indoors into a sunny location for winter. Provide with a sandy to rocky mineral soil with excellent drainage for the best results. The blue Sedum griseum may produce clusters of starry white flowers in winter and or early spring.
