Sedum dasyphyllum

This is probably the tiniest and most delicate species of all. The tiny torpedo shaped blue leaves drop at the slightest disturbance, to root and make an extensive ground cover. Not for use in containers due to this feature, but excellent in rockeries and miniature scenes.

Eventual spread can be up to 20cm across, made up of many separate plants. White flowers are born on 6cm wiry stems in summer, seeming large for the scale of the plant.
