How to care
Sedum morganianum, commonly known as Burro's Tail, is a popular succulent known for its trailing stems and plump, blue-green leaves. It thrives in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. This plant is ideal for hanging baskets or containers where its long stems can cascade beautifully. It is drought-tolerant and prefers to dry out completely between waterings.
