Sedum Palmers 'rayones'

[ralphrmartin]

Another Mexican Sedum which has survived outdoors for the last 2 winters for me is Sedum kimnachii, even in Wales where the last 2 winters have been very et as well as cold.

The reason I dug up this thread a few days ago was because a friend asked me for a cactus for his parents grave. Yea I know a bit morbid.
Of course I had to tell him I had nothing suitable.

It's a different topic but I rarely get visitors to my greenhouses, but when I do and they normally ask for a plant.
They seem a bit shocked when I tell them (with over 1000 cacti) that I don't have anything I don't want.
I then offer them a small offset in a two inch pot, which is grudgingly taken.
I often used the "you can have anything without a label" spoof, but that doesn't really work either.

Anyway I thought that the above sedum might be suitable, with the advice to put in under cover for the winter.
He seemed happy enough. But as ye know graveyards can be bleak, open, desolate places.
Most graves in Ireland have gravel beds, so I'm hoping it will survive in it's black pot.

Is there any hardy succulent plants associated with graves and graveyards in the UK?

Various Petrosedums (rupestre and similar) do well in such places...
