Chiastophyllum oppositifolium ‘Jim’s Pride’
Variegated Cotyledon |
USDA Zone: 5-9 |
Plant number: 1.143.150
A little-known cousin to Sedum, this is a little gem, best suited to shady gardens. Plants form a low mound of thick, succulent green leaves, edged in creamy yellow. Upright stems with dangling chains of bright yellow flowers appear in late spring and early summer. Ideal for edging in the shade border, in rock walls, and adapts well to growing in tubs or mixed containers. Easy and unique. A well-behaved plant, with no inclination to become invasive. Easily divided in spring or early fall. Evergreen in mild winter regions.
