Sedum multiceps, the miniature Joshua tree, is a small, shrubby succulent from Algeria with grey-green leaves in tight clusters at branch tips. It needs sharp drainage and plenty of sun, and very little water.
Sedum multiceps, also known as miniature/pygmy Joshua tree, is a perennial, deciduous species of Sedum from the succulent plant family Crassulaceae, native to Algeria. The plant is nicknamed for its glaucous leaves that grow in clusters, resembling Yucca brevifolia. It was named officially as a distinct species in 1862.
Sedum multiceps is cultivated as an ornamental plant, typically for planting in containers or in gardens as groundcover. It needs very little attention, and tolerates all but the most loamy soil.
