Sedum hispanicum var. minus, also called Spanish Stonecrop, is a low-growing succulent native to rocky, dry regions of southern Europe. It forms dense mats of tiny, fleshy leaves and grows well in sunny, well-drained environments.
The leaves are small, cylindrical, and blue-green with a slight powdery coating. It spreads quickly, creating a carpet-like groundcover with a compact, trailing habit.
In early summer, small star-shaped white or pale pink flowers appear on short stems. These blooms produce pollen and may be allergenic to sensitive individuals.
Sedum hispanicum var. minus handles dry heated air and drafty spots well. It can stay outdoors in autumn and tolerates balcony wind and rain. Move it outside for summer, and it grows well in terrariums or rock gardens. This plant is pet-friendly.
