Sedum pilosum

Sedum is a large genus related to Sempervivum. I would like you to write your experiences
with compact, hardy, sempervivum-like species of Sedum.
I know that Sedums with that form are sometimes in genera Rosularia or Promethem.
I'm very interested in Sedum pilosum. Here are some photos from internet:

S. pilosum is a very beautiful species but annual or bi-annual.
I don't have this species. I have seeds but not yet sowing.

WOW thats really nice, wonder if i can find that one here in the states.. Will have to start searching for it.. Hopefully i can find one or more..

This plant is now included in genus Prometheum. (Prometheum pilosum). I got few plants but unfortunately all died very soon. I think they don't like traveling. Will try them from seed again.

OMG!!! WOW DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!! That is just STUNNING!!!! Thanks for sharring that link Renata..


Marko. are they easy to start from seed?? Maybe i would be better off trying to find some seeds..

I've never tried them but many growers say it's very easy.
This short-living species of Prometheum like P.pilosum and P. sempervivoides are allegedly very easy from seed.
Good luck!

Thanks Marko, i found some seeds, its 100 seeds for $3.00 bucks is that about right for price or to high?? Gona keep searching for other sources...

This is a good price! I think they will germinate good.
