Description

Here we have a tiny sedum, well under an inch in width, a sun-loving perennial succulent of a family commonly known as stonecrops. Thriving in late spring in Houston, Texas. Sedum is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Crassulaceace, of which there are up to 600 species. Stonecrops, or sedum, are leaf succulents found mostly in the Northern Hemisphere. They store water in their leaves and are considered a staple of hardy succulent groundcovers.

The flowers usually have five petals, and seldom four or six. This one has six and is bright coral pink in color. Typically sedum produce twice as many stamens as petals. The stamens on this vivid coral six-leaf variety are bright yellow.

The flowers can be enjoyed close-up, and they are tiny and quite pretty. Sedum withstand drought, deep freezes, poor soil, full sun, and high temperatures, making them an ideal choice of plant in many areas and for a variety of uses, from groundcover to hanging baskets. Despite harsh conditions, they continue to reward with stunning colors and blooms.
