Can someone that has ACTUALLY grown this plant please help me, I have been reading conflicting information about the sun exposure and hardiness of this plant as well as other Sedum spathulifolium's.
I live in South Carolina, Zone 8a, it is mild in the winter and hot and very humid in the summers.
Can someone please tell me
1. Sun exposure, full sun or shade?
2. is this an evergreen?
3. is the sun exposure and the hardiness the same for all spathulifoliums?

wonderful color, but a very brittle little plant. But you can root the pieces just by sticking them in the ground. A nice looking planting is with a dark colored Sempervivum. The contrast is great.

Just purchased this S. spathulifolium few weeks ago, one of the more interesting and beautiful sedums. Have it planted in wide mouth pot, to allow plenty of room to spread out. Has a sort of silver-gray white hue, and have it located in full sun. Summer bloomer with yellow flowers.

Beautiful gray-white color on this slow grower, colors up in the winter months with red-dark green hues on the older leaves, but returns to white coloration come spring.
Should be put in a protected place......away from any foot traffic or where you might want to cultivate the soil around it. It is fairly brittle, but the broken pieces will root easily.
