Sedum populifolium

January 28, 2010

If we were looking really resistant succulent garden, then it would definitely have won populifolium Sedum - newly included among Hylotelephia. This Stonecrop excels as its durability, not to come from the Russian region of Lake Baikal, and certainly for sedum vynímečou form of growth. That is a timber. Sedum populifolium is totally defying conventional ideas about plants of the genus Sedum. Form a woody shrub with significantly stopkovitými leaves and slightly fragrant flowers. When grown in a sunny location with significant reduction of toppings, you get a nice hardy succulent bonsai specimen.

None has so stopkovité seven leaves. In some soils the flowers are more pink than white, but purple threads, and always give flowers white petals pink tinge. When grown in full sun, form a compact woody shrub in the shade creates a lush growth of clusters. In winter, it sheds leaves and leaving only woody parts of plants for the rapidly Jere image. The winter does not require special protection.

Sedum populifolium is not challenging the conditions in which it grows. Whether it umístníte anywhere in the garden, taking up very quickly and adapt their growth conditions. In the shadow form a procumbent growth, which can be described as půdokryvný. This was used for the rockery, where the sedum planted in gaps between the stones are loose and slightly procumbent vegetation covering the surrounding rocks. What you will but I know that the plant can be planted in a dish, or drilled into the stone and shaped like bonsai. The advantage is that the cutter and bush twigs odlamováním not hurt, on the contrary, each rank or knot on the trunk heals very quickly and gives the plant a rough appearance.

This sedum in the garden we have a couple of years and I admit that I do not know more rewarding plant. I use small trees when planting bonsai dishes and combinations with other low sedum and houseleek. With its ease of the, kind of just a small amount of soil and occasional watering. If there is bujnějšímu growth, it can be easily cut populifolium into the desired shape, young branches and moor shape. During one season lignify so bonsajovitého appearance achieved very soon. Simply put, Sedum populifolium I can only recommend to all.
