Sedum hybrid 'Burrito' 3.5

Sedum 'Burrito' forms semi-prostrate stems with dense glaucous blue-green "jelly bean" leaves, making it an excellent choice for hanging basket culture or placement in brightly lit atriums or patios with filtered light. The origin of this plant, however, remains quite an enigmatic mystery, as there is no known record of 'Burrito' having occurred in its natural habitat.

Interestingly, 'Burrito' bears a striking resemblance to Sedum morganianum, a species native to Mexico that forms long cascading stems of glaucous blue-green leaves. This similarity has led to speculation that 'Burrito' may be a natural Sedum morganianum hybrid. The preference for similar plants to cascade down rocky inclines where the water drains swiftly away from the plant suggests that Sedum 'Burrito' would thrive in a porous soil with good drainage.

To ensure the optimal growth and health of Sedum 'Burrito', it is recommended to provide the plant with bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Thorough watering should be done when the soil is dry to the touch, and the plant should be protected from frost. This unique and captivating succulent can add a touch of whimsy and vibrancy to any hanging basket, atrium, or patio setting, making it a valuable addition to the gardener's repertoire.

The origins of Sedum 'Burrito' remain a mystery, but its low-maintenance nature and striking appearance have made it a popular choice among succulent enthusiasts. Whether it is a natural hybrid or a unique cultivar, this plant's ability to thrive in a variety of settings and conditions has contributed to its growing popularity in the world of horticulture. As gardeners continue to explore the wonders of the succulent world, Sedum 'Burrito' stands out as a captivating and intriguing addition to any plant collection.
