Sedum humifusum

The only Sedum that’s allowed greenhouse space, well worth it especially at this time of year. This came originally as a small piece from LizM and now fills a 6” pan

Quite stunning!

Fantastic plant, certainly worth the greenhouse space.

Yes, that looks great, I never heard of it

That's a great display. It's not a sedum I've come across before so I think I'll be adding it to the wishlist

How long has it taken to spread out that much out of interest?

Hi to be honest I can’t remember when Liz sent it to me, probably 3 or 4 years from a bit about 2cm across. Bits drop off all the time around the edges so there are always spares! It is a high altitude plant from Mexico so needs to be frost free and dry in winter

I managed to get hold of a few cuttings of this last year and it's outgrown its initial pot over the winter. Can I ask what soil mix you use for it? I've got it growing in almost pure pumice for now.

Miles ahead of my plant which I grow outside in a clay pan. It’s seems quite hardy in the south and is grown as an alpine in a very mineral mix. Mine appears as a very young plant in a 3” pot in JP’s succulent book.

It’s just growing in my normal gritty cactus mix

I haven’t dared leave mine out up here, I think it might succumb to winter wet. I will have to try a bit in one of my alpine troughs. It certainly doesn’t like heat, I nearly lost it one year on a very hot spring day. Now I am careful to get it outside early and it stays out until the first frost.
It spreads rapidly from cuttings, my plant was reduced to cuttings and potted up in the same pan as it was crawling over the edges and dying off in the centre and 8 months later is a pan full again
