Sedum ‘Alice Evans’ Variegata is an elegant and eye-catching succulent prized for its soft pastel foliage and graceful, trailing form. Believed to be a horticultural hybrid within the Sedum genus, this charming cultivar is a favourite for hanging baskets, rockeries, and container arrangements, where its delicate colour shifts and architectural growth habit can be fully appreciated.
Appearance and Foliage
The plant forms dense rosettes of rounded, fleshy leaves at the ends of slender, hanging stems. Each leaf features a soft lime-green centre edged by creamy to pale-yellow margins, creating a striking variegation that changes subtly with the seasons. Under stress — such as cooler weather, drought, or strong sunlight — the foliage can develop gentle pink or apricot-orange tones, adding extra ornamental interest throughout the year.
Growth and Flowers
A. Evans grows slowly to moderately, eventually forming a low, cascading mat or gently spreading groundcover. In spring to early summer, it produces delicate clusters of star-shaped white flowers on branched stems, attracting pollinators and enhancing its visual appeal.
Cultivation and Care
This low-maintenance succulent thrives in bright, direct light, which is essential for maintaining its best variegated colour. It prefers a sharply draining, gritty soil mix — ideally formulated for succulents and cacti — and should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot, so restraint is key. Hardy in most frost-free regions of Australia (roughly equivalent to zones 9b–11b), it should be protected from prolonged cold or wet conditions.
Extra Notes
Sedum ‘Alice Evans’ Variegata is generally pest-free and resilient, making it ideal for beginners and collectors alike. Propagation is easy from leaf or stem cuttings, allowing gardeners to multiply plants and share this graceful, variegated beauty across their garden or indoor displays.
