Sedum Pachyphyllum

Sedum pachyphyllum is a small perennial bush forming or ground-hugging succulent up to 30 cm tall, with light silvery green, jelly, bean-like leaves along short stems. It spreads over time by rooting stems and fallen leaves that easily take root to form a dense ground cover. It may become very straggly with age. Young plants may be quite compact and will flower, when they are quite small. ln spring large sprays of bigger than usual, widely expanding starry blossoms in buttercup yellow, adorn the plant, with petals long and tapered, as are the carpels, stamens and stigma lobes.

This silver-green succulent has short, thick leaves and a woody stem. Once it begins to trail, this Sedum is great for ground cover.

Sedum pachyphyllum adds great thrill to succulent arrangements as it grows, and then spiller when it begins to trail, making it perfect for hanging baskets or rock gardens.
