Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Tender. Rosettes of thick rosy tipped gray leaves.

By: Little Prince of Oregon

A tender sprawling Sedum with fleshy blue gray foliage arranged around short stems terminating in a rosette formation. Very useful filler/traling plant for succulent containers, or where hardy, a 4 season succulent for hot well drained soils. 4-6" tall by 12" wide.

This form is rumored to be bluer than the typical species found wild in Mexico. This form also tends to grow in shorter, denser clumps to a height of about six inches tall and gently spreading. Can likely handle brief periods of frost and is frost hardy in USDA zone 9b, maybe lower. Perhaps best treated as a container plant and then brought in as a houseplant during the winter.
