Highlights
Sedum dasyphyllum or Corsican Stonecrop: A hardy ground cover species that makes a colorful outdoor accent throughout the seasons. Its tiny, glaucous leaves can vary from turquoise to silver and will blush lavender in full sun. It has adapted a wide variety of habitats throughout Europe and can present in a wide range of forms.
S. dasyphyllum forms a dense carpet and grows particularly well from rocky, scree slopes and volcanic tuff. It self propagates easily as fallen leaves and stem sections will readily re-root. This species has shallow roots and needs great drainage, but this makes it a great variety for green roofs, vertical plantings, and retaining walls. When grown in a well-draining pot, it will eventually cascade over the edge.
Despite its delicate look, S. dasyphyllum is frost hardy down to 0F (zone 7). It can tolerate extended droughts, but regular water in the summer will encourage growth. It is a summer bloomer, producing white, star-shaped flowers on short stalks that attract pollinators.

Popular Questions
The differences between the major and minor forms of Sedum dasyphyllum are negligible and we don't make the distinction because of that. If I had to take a guess, I would call the one we typically sell the minor form, however, there are actually many different forms of this plant! The biggest difference between these forms is the presence or absence of hair, and how long that hair is. I have yet to see the hairy forms in our greenhouses, but it's out there. This link is a good resource for researching this plant, and many others. I hope this all helps!
Usually, there's two forms of the straight species, major and minor. We don't make that distinction here as S. dasyphyllum is so variable that cutting it down to forms adds an unnecessary layer of confusion. However, in all likelihood, it's probably the minor form.

Succulents need grittier soil than other plants because they are adapted to dry conditions and store water in their leaves. Regular potting soil mixes stay damp for long periods of time, which can cause rot in succulents. Instead, use a sandy, well-draining soil so you can water thoroughly without leaving your succulent in standing water.
