Very thick, fleshy leaves form the rosettes of Sedum treleasei, characterized by soft shades of green and rosy pink made all the more serene in appearance thanks to a thick layer of powdery farina. Take care when handling this variety, however, as this powder can be readily marred by the oils in your fingerprints! In contrast to many other rosette-shaped succulent varieties, the stems of Sedum treleasei do not shed their lower leaves as they grow, ultimately creating an 8 inch tall column of color and texture, heightened further by sprays of yellow blooms during the summer months! Full sunlight is key to Sedum treleasei’s best growth and richest coloration, making this variety well suited to life in any bright south or west-facing window in your home. Beyond this lighting requirement, this variety is quite resilient and will perform well for even a beginner succulent collector. Porous soil within a well-draining pot, ample airflow around the leaves and soil surface, and a thorough yet infrequent watering routine will all help set the stage for success with this unique specimen. Hardy only to Zone 10, be sure to protect Sedum treleasei from freezing winter temperatures.
