Description
Heads or tails? In the case of this cascading live succulent, youre going to want tails. Sedum Burrito, also known as burros tail or donkeys tail, is a trailing succulent whose dreadlock-style stems of dense pale blue-green jelly bean leaves make it a favorite on social media, even more so when in bloom. Excellent for hanging basket culture. This one contrasts with string of pearls or string of bananas by starting with more of a lateral growth habit, but it will still happily spill out of pots. An excellent ingredient in dish gardens as a counterpart to succulents of other forms, such as echeverias, graptopetalums, and hybrids thereof. Sedum Burrito likes plenty of sunlight but protect it from hot afternoon sun. Grows in trailing fashion to 2 to 3 feet or more. Plant in well-draining soil. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Provide bright light. Flowers in spring. Hardy to Zone 10/32 degrees F.
