Bonsai sedum (Sedum furfuraceum)
Description
Sedum furfuraceum is a low growing, branching succulent up to 4 inches (10 cm) tall and spreading slowly up to 1 foot (30 cm) wide, on creeping stems with small upturned up to 0.4 inch (1 cm) long, egg-shaped, dark green leaves, covered in scurfy, whitish scales and aligned in tight spiral rows. Leaves are often reddish purple in bright light and lower leaves turn a reddish-orange hue and later drop off to expose twisted, thick, gray-white stems. In early spring appear the pinkish-white, star-like flowers that each lasts for about 10 days.
