Sedum hirsutum

November 13, 2010

Sedum hirsutum is the kind that is often erroneously referred to as Sedum Winkler. This is a wonderful sedum growing in Spain, and Morocco Giblartaru. At first glance its robust cones, composed of succulent, finely ochlupených sheets. These cones are connected by strong radiating, surface stolony. During the summer peak appearing inflorescence with large, white flowers. Sometimes it appears in the collections of a more robust form of Sedum hirsutum ssp baethicum.

Sedum hirsutum is one of the really attractive plants. The only thing that can bring bad feature is that in our conditions, this sedum is not frost resistant head and winter rains. In his fine hair that covers the leaves during the winter months can capture water, which can lead to rotting plants. It is therefore not advisable to grow these plants outdoors, even in areas with mild winters, where winter rains. I witnessed growing in a shallow bowl, placed over the vegetation in the garden, which convey the winter in a cold room.

Sedum hirsutum plant is not for full sun habitats. Is suitable for growing in shade or habitat location with morning or evening sun. The plant can handle drought rather than waterlogging, so choose a well-draining potting mix mixed with sand. Flowering time is divided into two cooler part of the year - spring and late summer. During hot summer days in a period of rest. At this time, download the leaves into a thick heads at the top of the stem. The plant is thus protected from unwanted overheating and evaporation of water from leaves. As I have indicated, overwintering in our conditions is due to the wet winter a little more challenging. Sedum hirsutum can be in areas with milder winters to hibernate rockery covered with garlands and table glass. But if we want to prevent death, přemístníme plant in a cold room with a temperature of around zero. In this case, it is necessary at least a maintenance dressing.
