Description
This easy to grow succulent is commonly known as “Donkey Tail” as each of its stems fall in a tail of green almond shaped leaves. The plant will freely offset and will fill a pot to form a cascade of tails, which can easily reach 30+cm in 5years. Small red flowers are common in spring/summer. This plant does benefit form good light but would not want to be in the scorching sun.

Why Ottershaw Cacti – We know how to grow succulents
We have been growing plants for over 40 years and were ‘Plant Of The Year’ finalists at RHS Chelsea Flower Show( 2022) with the ‘Aeonium Jubilee‘ bred to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and our first ever cultivar Aeonium ‘Nights Watch’ in 2019. We have won many RHS Gold medals for our impressive succulent displays. All of our plants have been potted up with our compost mix and fed with this feed. Use our experience and give your plants what they need to thrive.
Shipping
The plant is carefully wrapped and packed in a strong cardboard box, marked FRAGILE then posted by Royal Mail Tracked 24. These plants are particularly delicate and even with our very best efforts at packaging you may loose a few leaves during transit, do not worry your plant will recover quickly and you will be able to root down all the leaves that fall off to create a new plant or two. We can not replace plants or compensate you for any leaf loss during transit as this is beyond our control.
Easy Care Tips For Your Sedum Morganianum
Watering – When completely dry.
Apr – Sept Water when dry – Drench Drain Dry right out Repeat. Do not let them sit in water, remove any excess water after 2 hours.
Oct – Mar Water sparingly (3 or 4 tbs once a month). If keeping below 10 Degrees do not water at all, you will likely kill them.
Light – Most succulents will enjoy as much light as you can give them.
Outside they get the best mix of light rays, but only when the frost has gone! Keep them in your sunniest spot if growing inside. Conservatories and porches are great options as well as sunny windowsills. Whilst this plant does benefit form good light it would not want to be in the scorching sun on the brightest days.
Heat – Do not let your succulents freeze.
Most succulents will tolerate low temperatures but do not want to freeze. Succulents will go dormant under 10 degrees and will not grow. In this state they do not need any water, in fact watering will likely kill them when dormant.
