Sedum Joyce Tulloch
Succulents like sunny spots and can be kept outdoors in summer.
Always water a few days after the substrate has dried out. Reduce watering in winter.
It can withstand temperatures as low as -6.7 °C for short periods. However, the plant is not frost-resistant.
Sedum Joyce Tulloch is a hybrid that was probably created by crossing Sedum versadense and Sedum lucidum. It was first described by Ray Stephenson in 2004.
Sedum Joyce Tulloch is a small-leaved stonecrop known for its distinctive leaf coloration when grown in the sun. It is a cultivar whose hybrid origin is not entirely certain, but a possible cross between Sedum verssadense and Sedum lucidum has been suggested. It was described by Ray Stephenson in Sedum Society Newsletter 70 (2004).
The fleshy, small leaves are mostly green, but in a sunny location they turn reddish. The plant produces upright to prostrate stems that branch profusely and gradually form a compact shrub. Fine hairs on the surface of the leaves can be seen on closer inspection.
In spring, small white star-shaped flowers may appear on stems with leaf-like bracts. However, flowering is not regular in some plants, and this cultivar is grown primarily for its leaf coloration.
Sedum Joyce Tulloch is grown in a bright location in a well-drained substrate. Fertilization is not recommended, as it often harms sedums. If the shoots grow too long, they can be pinched back for more compact growth. This cultivar will delight growers mainly with how it turns red in the sun and changes its appearance during the season.
