Now that spring is well underway, let me introduce an easy outdoor succulent, Sedum confusum. I love it for being reliable and low maintenance. It grows quickly and keeps its greenery all year, making it a great option for rock gardens, containers, or softly trailing over edges.

It forms neat rosettes of green leaves on trailing stems, and in early spring produces clusters of small, star-shaped yellow flowers, adding a gentle touch of colour to your garden.

Care Tips:

Light: Thrives in full sun but will tolerate partial shade

Water: Low water needs, drought-tolerant once established

Soil: Free-draining, gritty soil or a good succulent mix is essential

Hardiness: Winter hardy down to around -15°C without protection

Propagation: Very easy from stem cuttings, remove the lower leaves and insert into soil. Roots develop quickly

A great choice if you’re starting out with outdoor succulents, or looking for something that grows well with minimal care.
