Description
Sedum denfroideum is a small,succulent shrub up to 3 feet(90 cm)tall and up to 4 feet(1.2 m)wide.It is often confused with Sedum praealtum.The leaves are green,spathulate and 1.6 inch(2.8 cm)long.It has a line of subepidermal glands all along leaf margins,a feature that immediately separates it from its look-alike relatives.These glands can be red in summer,but are clearly visible at all times.S.praealtum has no such glands and leaves tend to be more yellow-green.The large clusters of small vivid yellow,star-shaped flowers that form above the foliage in late winter and early spring.
How to grow and care
When growing Sedums,keep in mind that this plants need very little attention or care.They will thrive in conditions that many other plants thrive in,but wil do just as well in less hospitable areas.
Sedum is easily planted.For shorter varieties,simply laying the plant on the ground where you want it to grow is normally enough to get the plant started there.They will send out roots from wherever the stem is touching the ground and root itself.If you would like to further ensure that the plant will start there,you can add a very thin covering of soil over the plant.
For taller varieties,you can break off one of the stems and push it into the ground where you would like to grow it.The stem will root very easily and a new plant will be eatablished in a season or two.
