Sedum burrito, also known as Baby Donkey's Tail, is becoming increasingly popular in the world of succulent growers. The variety is also sometimes referred to as Sedum morganianum Burrito.
This Sedum boasts blue-green leaves that are firm and rounded at the ends. The surface of the leaves is coated with a thin waxy layer, giving them a smooth appearance and protecting the plant from drying out. The leaves are densely grown on long stems that can reach up to one metre in length. Initially they may grow upright, but over time they become flatter. For this reason, the plant is often grown in hanging containers where it stands out best.
The flowers of Sedum burrito are small, but in combination with the blue-green foliage they are very striking, especially because of their red colouring. The flowers appear at the ends of the stems.
Sedum burrito is relatively slow growing. Old shoots may gradually shed their lower leaves, so I recommend removing them. This will create more space for the young shoots, which will soon fill in the clump. Sedum burrito is very popular with succulent growers due to its impressive appearance and ease of care.
