Sedum moranense

Sedum moranense is a ground covering, heather-like succulent that is well-suited for rock gardens, dry slopes, or green roofs.

The leaves are heather-like, tiny, thick and cylindrical. They are arranged in a spiral pattern which is just stunning when you observe it up close – like little pine trees.

• • In cold weather or dry conditions, the evergreen foliage turns a vibrant cherry red.

The pearl colored star-shaped flowers are minuscule, contrasting beautifully against the jet black anthers, and appear in the summer in summer.

• • The plant’s flowering cycle is triggered by winter cold.

Unlike most hardy sedums, this species has a more upright growth habit, owing to a dense mass of fine, upright, and highly branched stems.

This succulent thrives in gravelly, mineral-rich soil with excellent drainage, making it extremely hardy and resistant to winter moisture. It is adaptable to various soil pH levels and prefers full sun to partial shade. Sun exposure enhances its reddish coloration in response to cold.

👨‍🌾GARDENING TIPS👨‍🌾: 

• • 🌱 Plant in spring (after the last frost) or late summer.
  • 👵 As the plant matures, older stems will lose their leaves > do not worry, it will bring an even more heathery feel to the plant.
  • 💡Layering Technique : it is useful to lay the longer stems on the soil directly as this will trigger the plant to produce roots at various points, encouraging a quicker assimilation into its new environment.
  • 💡Propagation: Stem cuttings, planted directly into the ground from May to August (if you need a hand, just shoot us a message and we’ll show you!)
