Guide

The species-level account. Cultivar pages build on this and say where they differ.

Sedum dasyphyllum is a low succulent subshrub native to rocky, sun-exposed sites around the Mediterranean and southern Europe, where it stores water in its small bluish leaves and tolerates drought far better than wet feet. Give it bright, direct light and a gritty, fast-draining mix, and water only when the soil has gone completely dry and the leaves begin to look slightly less plump. Err toward under-watering; sitting in damp soil will cause the stems and roots to rot.
