Sedum makinoi 'Salsa Verde' is a low-growing trailing succulent native to Japan, where it naturally carpets rocky slopes and woodland edges. As a member of the Sedum genus in the Crassulaceae family, it grows well in container gardens and outdoor spaces.
Sedum 'Salsa Verde' forms a dense, trailing mat of tiny rounded leaves in fresh lime-green. The foliage is glossy and succulent-thick, arranged in a clumping yet sprawling habit that trails over pot edges and softens garden borders.
Small starry yellow flowers appear in summer, dotting the lime foliage with cheerful accents. The blooms are modest in size but plentiful, and the plant produces pollen that may affect allergy-sensitive households.
Sedum 'Salsa Verde' excels in hanging baskets and benefits from a sturdy hanging hook to showcase its cascading growth. It handles dry heated indoor air well, though you should keep it away from direct air conditioning or heater vents. Move it outside in summer for a growth boost, providing some shelter from heavy rain to protect the leaves. This pet-safe succulent tolerates up to ten days without water.
