Sedum is a part of the Crassulaceae family and contains many varieties, they can be found all over the world, but succulent varieties are often found in warmer climes of sunny Mexico.

Many sedums flower with five petals in a star shape but are often grown in cultivation for their different forms. Whilst succulent Sedums are generally low growing and often trailing you can see more upright varieties like the bright yellow/orange long leaved Sedum adolphii. Popular trailing Sedums with their shades of green tails are Sedum morganium – Donkey Tail, and Sedum ‘Burrito’ – Baby Donkey Tail, both these plants look a picture with their small red flowers in spring. More often Sedum flowers are yellow stars and look most impactful on Sedum pachyphyllum commonly known as “The Jellybean Plant”.
