Sedum 'Spiral Staircase'

Sedum 'Spiral Staircase': A Mexican Sedum with pleasing, geometric leaves. This robust, green variety grows upright on short stems with pine needle-like leave spiraling up it. It was named by Ray Stephenson to differentiate if from S. moranense and Villadia batesii as it is often misidentified in cultivation. This variety blooms with petite, white, star-shaped flowers.

Soft Sedum need bright sunlight to maintain their colors and full leaf coverage. They will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light.

Like most succulents, soft Sedum need great drainage and deep, infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.

Soft Sedum can be propagated from stem cuttings. Look to our for more information.
