Sedum morganianum 'Burrito' (Burro's Tail Sedum)

Sedum morganianum 'Burrito' is a trailing succulent from Mexico in the Crassulaceae family. Its stems grow 2 to 3 feet long and are densely packed with short, round, pale green leaves. This growth habit gives rise to the common name Burro's Tail, as the stems resemble a donkey's tail when hanging.

The plant grows best in bright, indirect light and needs sharply drained, sandy or rocky soil. Soil must dry fully between waterings to prevent rot.

Growth is slow to moderate depending on warmth and exposure. Mature plants sometimes produce small pink flowers near the tips of the stems during warm months.

It is sensitive to cold and must be protected below 35F. It grows well in containers and is especially suited for hanging pots.

This plant is not edible and has no confirmed toxicity to people or pets.

It differs from standard Sedum morganianum by having shorter, rounder, and more closely packed leaves.
