Sedum adolphi
Sedum adolphi (often erroneously spelled Sedum adolphii), the coppertone stonecrop or golden Sedum, is a species of succulent plant in the family Crassulaceae.[1][2] It is native to Mexico, where it grows in rocky terrain and on cliff faces. It has also become naturalized in Sicily and the Canary Islands.[3] It is known for its bright orange-copper leaves and white flowers that bloom in the spring. DescriptionThis species grows up to 20 cm tall and has small star-shaped white flowers.[1] It is hardy in USDA zone 9 and southward.[4] Sedum adolphi can be propagated from its cuttings, leaves, and seeds.[1] The leaves are evergreen and can develop red or orange edges if given enough sun. S. adolphi is a simple plant to grow that prefers direct sun exposure and when temperatures exceed 20°C it prefers windy areas. S. adolphi needs little water during its November-March rest period since this plant is able to survive with humidity reserves for short periods of time.[5] General careSedum adolphi requires very little care and is easy to grow, making it a popular choice for gardeners and succulent enthusiasts. It thrives in full sun, a well-draining soil, and little water. It is best grown outdoors, but can also do well in hanging baskets or rock gardens. To propagate, you can use leaves, cuttings, or seeds.[1] ToxicityWhile some varieties of Sedum such as S. morganianum are toxic to humans and animals, Sedum adolphi is not listed as toxic on the ASPCA's website.[6] References
