#1 Re: Identification » Golden Sedums » 2013-10-28 00:00:00
Thank you all. That has scratched a very irritating itch. I shall be able to fix my names once and for all. Now all I have to do is get my hands on the other one, which seems like it might be a bit tricky here in Oz. I think I have occasionally seen then "ordinary" Petrosedum rupestre here in Adelaide but Sedums and their relatives can be tricky here as they find our summers far too hot. I've noticed that Sedum mexicanum 'Gold Mound' is not in the main site's plant catalogue as yet - I have quite a lot of pictures of this plant and would be happy to offer them for the use of the website.

I've just realized the photo 2 is lying on it side - the plant is cascading down the side of the dark green pot standing on the wooden shelf. You'll have to put your head on one side to see it correctly - sorry about that, KK.

This question has been giving me a headache for some time. In the USA, and elsewhere, you often come across a plant labelled Sedum rupestre 'Angelina' Here in Oz, we see a lot of plants labelled Sedum mexicanum 'Gold Mound' I've never seen these plants side by side, but they do look very similar to each other in the photos I have seen. I'm not really even sure that either of these names are correct, given the cavalier way the nursery trade seems to treat plant names! I have no ax to grind in regard to the name - I am not even sure if they could all be the same plant or not. If they are not I am not sure how to tell them apart, Anyway I've got something in my collection which I am sure is one or the other and I'd like to know what it is that I have.
Ciao, KK
PS - I DO know that S. rupestre is now Petrosedum rupestre, but I have put the names that are most commonly seen online.
Leaves and stems early in the growing season
New Growth Appearing on older stems - note the dark colour of older leaves
Flowers - when they appear the rest of the plant gets greener until the inflorescences dry up.
