Miniature succulent with tiny, chunky, dark green leaves (to about 1/2" long) bearing white scaly texture. Stems grow to about 6 inches (mostly sideways, sometimes upward). Small whitish flowers. A well behaved container plant, good subject for macro photography.
Small, creeping Mexican Sedum with glaucous blue-green leaves (sometimes with red tips), growing to about 6-8 inches tall. Flowers are white and spreading. This species is known from the cliffs at one locality in the state of Mexico. It is easily reproduced and relatively common in cultivation.
Leaves are easily detached from stems and can be used for propagation. Stems tend to grow sideways over time and branch quite a bit. Plants shipped through the mail will tend to fragment and drop a lot of leaves, especially if carelessly handled.
Small, offsetting, glaucous rosette succulent. with rosettes to about 5 inches and stems to about 2-3 inches long. Leaves are bluish pink to whitish and flowers are fragrant and bright white, with recurved petals.
From Barranca de Sinforosa, Chihuahua. Described in 2017, related to S. suaveolens (Durango). Some differences: branchler, often longer-stemmed, with a smaller, pinker rosette; taller inflorescences with much smaller flowers.
Very common soft-leafed succulent from Veracruz, Mexico. Leaves are alternate and yellowish green to orange, with a slight keel. Stems are sprawling. Flowers are white, with a slight fragrance. Various cultivars with unusual colors or variegation have been named.
This plant is well behaved and widespread in cultivation, though a bit of a messy grower due its sprawling habit. With the color forms, the most dramatic hues will be observed in strong light.
The species nussbaumerianum has at various times (including the present) been considered a synonym of Sedum adolphi, which was described about 12 years earlier. They are currently considered to be the same plant.
Fat leafed, sprawling succulent with really striking red color in strong light. The common name is apt. Bright yellow, wide open flowers appear in terminal clusters. Common and well behaved in cultivation. Provide strong light for best color and form.
Formerly described as a species, this plant is known only from cultivation and is apparently a garden hybrid of Sedum stahlii and some other Sedum, maybe pachyphyllum.
It appears in the database despite a general prohibition on garden hybrids in the form of Genus x species, presumably because at one point (over 4 decades ago) it was considered an actual species. More info here:
Yellow flowers appear in the spring to summer. Leaves are green, but will turn orange in full sun.
This Sedum is often confused with Sedum kimnachii. According to Sedumzz, "Kimnachi tends to stay smaller than confusum and leaves tend to stay more compacted than confusum."
As the name suggests, this subsp. comes from Yosemite. The leaves on this rosette are dark green and glossy, they emerge light lime green and fade to red/orange leaves. The stolons/stems are bright red.
An alpine plant, native to California and Oregon. It grows in the coastal mountains, often next to Dudleyas. A good spreading ground cover, with yellow flowers in the spring. Great for rock gardens and container gardens.
Sedum anglicum Suzie Q is a variegated variety of Sedum anglicum.
Easiest way to differentiate the Crassula Little Missy and Sedum Suzie Q is by leaf shape:
-> Little Missy usually grows two leaves per node, whereas Suzie Q generally grows in rosette shapes (sometimes will also make 2 leaves per node, but this usually doesn't happen a lot)
-> Little Missy's leaves are much thinner, and "triangle" like, more acute, whereas Suzie Q's leaves are chubbier, slightly more elongated, thicker, and rounder.
-> Suzie Q is much more unstable than Little Missy, so generally, when looking at large colonies of Suzie Q, you may find many "variations", unless the specimen is kept very well trimmed and cut. Some examples are half moon, albino, reverted, reverted/variegated etc. Little Missy is generally more stable, and rarely has fully albino leaves, but occasionally puts out reverted stems.
Do note that because of the unstable-ness of these 2 varieties, it is best to remove reverted stems or rosettes from specimens as they grow to make sure the reverted ones do not take over. Albino rosettes/stems are technically "parasites" because they do not make their own food, they survive only from taking nutrients from the parts of the plant that have chlorophyll, so, it is also best to remove those, unless you like that look of no chlorophyll.
Wild collected variety from Clair County, Alabama. Light pink, prostrate stems. Rosettes are cupped, leaves are somewhat skinnier than the species. Blooms branch profusely.
A wild-collected variety. Upright bright red stems, with slightly frilled light green cupped rosettes. The flower stalks fade to cream/light-green, and the flowers tend to have few but long branches.
This variety of S. ternatum has pinkish, prostrate stems, but somewhat more cupped/upright rosettes. Bloom stalks are quite short and compact, and rarely branch (branches are usually really high up on the bloom, so branches aren't very long).
The epithet has something to do with trees; I am not sure of specifically what it is. "Dendr/Dend" means tree, which fits considering this is an upright, tree/shrub-like sedum.
The epithet "sexangulare" means "six angled". This refers to the growth habit of this plant, with six leaves per whorl. Apparently, it is also milder in taste compared to Sedum acre.
