Guide

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

A succulent subshrub from central Mexico, Sedum kimnachii stores water in its fleshy leaves and is adapted to bright, dry conditions with sharp drainage. Give it the brightest spot you have, ideally several hours of direct sun, and a gritty, fast-draining mix. Water deeply only once the soil has dried out completely, when the leaves begin to feel slightly soft rather than firm; it rots far more easily than it goes thirsty.
