I grow this plant outdoors in Cornwall, England, which is zone 9b. Here the main problem can be winter wet -which can rot succulent plants. This plant seems to be completely happy in our damp cilmate and is now about 2 feet across.

Outdoors it is not as attractive however as plants grown indoors -my outdoor plants are rather course and the leaves have a rather reddish tinge.

I think other Mexican sedums are worth trying outside too.

I have heard that this particular type of seedum that i have is difficult to grow indoors. But it grows great. This is a very easy plant to grow fpr me. They can can grow much more than a foot long. Mines in a hanging basket.

Beautiful pink to violet to purple coloration during various seasons of the year, a fast grower, fairly brittle, but broken heads can just be stuck in the soil and root easily.

Golden yellow leaves, that will root down if taken off cleanly. It is of the Packysedum group. It will make a good basket subject falling down over the side of the container. Leaves are shorter than S. nussbaumerianum does not.
