Slim pink tinged stems arch out from a central crown, each strung with whorls of three rounded, fleshy leaves in a soft powdery blue green, every one brushed through the middle with a wash of buttery cream. In late summer and early autumn the stems finish in clusters of small star shaped flowers in a warm rose pink. Botanists now file it under \u003cem\u003eHylotelephium sieboldii\u003c\/em\u003e, though it still trades widely under its old Sedum name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt grows in a low, spreading mound and spills gently over the rim of a pot, which makes it a natural on a shelf edge, a bright windowsill or in a small hanging planter. It looks especially good in a shallow bowl or a plain terracotta pot, where the trailing stems can hang free, and it sits happily alongside other succulents that want the same bright, dry conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCare at a glance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e The brightest spot you have.
