Sedum versadense is a charming small succulent shrub native to Mexico, specifically the regions of Morelos and Oaxaca. This unique species belongs to the Crassulaceae family and boasts a dense arrangement of hairy, fleshy leaves along its erect or decumbent stems, giving it a lush and textured appearance. The leaves are particularly striking, with their reddish-cream hue on the upper surface and a dark, brownish-red tone underneath. Each leaf can grow up to 3 cm long and 1.5 cm wide, contributing to the plant’s compact form, which reaches up to 15 cm in height and width.
In early spring, Sedum versadense produces clusters of small, star-shaped flowers that are pinkish-white, adding to its ornamental appeal. While its flowering is noted in early spring, it can also continue into summer. The plant thrives in full sun, which helps bring out the beautiful reddish hues in its foliage. While it can tolerate partial shade, it prefers bright light for optimal growth and coloration.
For best results, plant Sedum versadense in gritty, well-draining soil to prevent root rot. It is drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional watering during the warmer months, allowing the soil to dry between waterings. While it can withstand temperatures down to around -12°C, this succulent is ideal for more temperate Australian climates.
This species is easy to propagate by stem or leaf cuttings, making it a favourite among succulent enthusiasts. It’s a great choice for both container gardens and rockeries, offering textural interest and subtle colour.
