I live in Minnesota. Zone 4. I just saw a tray of cuttings of the assumed Hylotelephium. They looked quite different from the image above,  Art at North Star said that was more normal. The stems were pinker and the leaves a little broader. I will try to get another picture. And some others that need ID now that I know about this resource.

Tom, Thanks! Neither of them fit the description of Sedum planifolium. Both of your suggestions fit well. The Hylotelephium has not flowered at the greenhouse, but it has been treated like a tropical. We will have to try it outdoors!

I am familiar with Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo Sun'. Neither of these could be confused with that. Photos will come.

Tom,

Yes, I found that description. It describes leaves that are narrower than the red-leaved plant. But it is rather difficult for me to follow these technical descriptions, especially when the ranges are so wide as in leaf length. I was hoping someone would have an image to compare.

I did take photographs of the two plants in question with a friend's camera, but have not yet figured out how to get the images from the SDHC card. If I can retrieve them, I will add them to this post.

I was out at North Star Seed and Nursery in Faribault, Minnesota, USA.

They have two plants that came with the name "Sedum planifolium."

They are very different. One has half-inch red flat leaves; the other has very tiny blue-green leaves.

Any idea how to sort this out?

Does anyone have a picture of the real "Sedum panifolium"?
