Description
Sedum lineare 'Variegatum' is an attractive low-growing succulent with slender stems bearing pale green leaves with creamy white margins. It grows up to 15 cm in height. The stems are ascending or decumbent and grow up to 30 cm long.
The leaves are thick, fleshy, linear to lanceolate, up to 3 cm long and 0.2 cm wide. New growth usually stands upright and then lies down under the weight of stems and leaves.
In the shade, it tends to grow a little more open and taller.
The small, star-shaped flowers are bright yellow and appear in short, tight summits just above the foliage in late spring and early summer.
Resistance
Resistance range from 0°C to +10°C.
 
how to care
When growing Sedum, remember that these plants need very little attention or care. They will thrive in conditions many other plants thrive in, but also in less hospitable areas. They are ideal for that part of your yard that gets too much sun or too little water to grow anything else. A common name for Sedum is Stonecrop because many gardeners joke that only the stones need less care and live longer.
