About

Sedum adolphi (often erroneously spelled Sedum adolphii), the coppertone stonecrop or golden Sedum, is a species of succulent plant in the family Crassulaceae. It is native to Mexico, where it grows in rocky terrain and on cliff faces. It has also become naturalized in Sicily and the Canary Islands. It is known for its bright orange-copper leaves and white flowers that bloom in the spring.

How to grow it

Sedum adolphi requires very little care and is easy to grow, making it a popular choice for gardeners and succulent enthusiasts. It thrives in full sun, a well-draining soil, and little water. It is best grown outdoors, but can also do well in hanging baskets or rock gardens. To propagate, you can use leaves, cuttings, or seeds.[1]

Safety

While some varieties of Sedum such as S. morganianum are toxic to humans and animals, Sedum adolphi is not listed as toxic on the ASPCA's website.
