Sedum Joyce Tulloch variegata
Succulent likes sunny sites, can tolerate semi-shady sites.
Always water a few days after the substrate has dried out. In winter, limit watering.
It can tolerate -6.7 °C in the short term. However, the plant is not hardy.
The green variegated leaves with creamy edges take on a distinctive pink colour when placed in full sun.
Sedum Joyce Tulloch variegata is a small-leaved succulent plant with a similar habit. This variant is a hybrid, probably resulting from a cross between Sedum verssadense and Sedum lucidum, and was described by Ray Stephenson in Sedum Society Newsletter 70 (2004). Unfortunately, the origin of the plant is not known with complete certainty.
The basic colour of the fleshy and small leaves is green, but the margins are decorated with a cream colouring which changes to an attractive pink shade in sunlight, especially on the underside. The surface of the leaves is covered with inconspicuous fine hairs. The plant has upright to semi-erect stems which branch profusely.
In spring, tiny white star-shaped flowers with five petals appear on the leaf-like stems. It is important to note, however, that the similar form is unlikely to flower.
Fertilisation is rather detrimental to the stonecrop, so do not fertilise. If you find the shoots too elongated, you can pinch them back to encourage compact growth. Sedum Joyce Tulloch variegata is a collectible flower that will win you over with its beautiful appearance, especially if the succulent is placed in full sun and turns pink.
