Sedum makinoi aka Stonecrop

Sedum makinoi is a creeping, evergreen perennial that reaches a height of up to 5cm. Its fleshy, red-tinted leaves are held on succulent stems. During the summer, it produces starry yellow flowers. This plant thrives in raised beds, troughs, and can even be grown as a houseplant. The Sedum genus encompasses a wide range of plants that are native to various regions worldwide. Through horticultural breeding, numerous varieties have been created, boasting a variety of shapes and colors. These plants have succulent leaves that store water, making them highly adaptable. Propagation is easy, as simply detaching a leaf and providing water and sunlight can lead to the growth of a new plant. One specific Sedum variety is Sedum tornado, which features glossy, small leaves growing on a red stem. The leaf color ranges from light green to dark green. This compact plant forms a small ball in its pot, originating from Costa Rica. The Sedum genus includes hundreds of varieties, many of which are cultivated for their vibrant appearance. Most of these varieties are found in the northern hemisphere. These succulent plants store water in their leaves and typically grow to about 2cm tall. Over time, they may lean back to the ground and produce new roots where they make contact with the soil. Yellow flowers are produced on tall stems, adding to their visual appeal. Hardy and visually striking, Sedum plants are often utilized in rockeries, hanging baskets, and water-wise gardens.
