Sedum Brevifolium

Sedum brevifolium is a charming, low-growing succulent known for its tiny, plump, blue-green leaves that form dense, mat-like clusters. This ground-covering sedum is ideal for rock gardens, containers, and terrariums, offering a soft texture and cool-toned color that adds contrast to succulent arrangements. During cooler weather or stress conditions, the leaves may blush with soft pink or purple hues. Drought-tolerant and resilient, Sedum brevifolium is a great choice for beginners and water-wise gardens.

Characteristics:

• Compact, low-growing succulent with small, rounded blue-green leaves.

• Forms dense, spreading mats, excellent for ground cover or container edges.

• Leaves may turn pinkish or purplish in cold or dry conditions.

• Produces tiny white or pale pink star-shaped flowers in late spring to summer.

• Perfect for rock gardens, succulent bowls, green roofs, and terrariums.

• Extremely drought-tolerant and thrives on minimal care.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Best colors develop in bright light.

• Watering: Water sparingly. Allow soil to completely dry between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot.

• Soil: Requires well-draining soil. Ideal for sandy, gritty succulent or cactus mixes.

• Temperature: Hardy to mild frost. Can tolerate a range of temperatures but prefers dry, warm conditions.

• Fertilizing: Not a heavy feeder. Light feeding with diluted succulent fertilizer during the growing season is sufficient.

• Propagation: Easily propagated from leaf cuttings or division of clumps.

• Maintenance: Virtually maintenance-free. Trim back if it becomes too sprawling.
