Heads or tails. In the case of this cascading live succulent, you’re going to want tails. Sedum ‘Burrito’, also known as burro’s tail or donkey’s tail, is a trailing succulent whose “dreadlock”-style stems of dense pale blue-green jelly bean leaves make it a favorite on social media, even more so when in bloom. Excellent for hanging basket culture. This 1 contrasts with string of pearls or string of bananas by starting with more of a lateral growth habit, but it will still happily spill out of pots. An excellent ingredient in dish gardens as a counterpart to succulents of other forms, such as echeverias, graptopetalums, and hybrids thereof. Sedum ‘Burrito’ likes plenty of sunlight but protect it from hot afternoon sun. Plant in well-draining soil. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Provide bright light. Flowers in spring. Hardy to Zone 6 to 11.
