Donkey’s tail (also commonly known as burro’s tail or lamb’s tail) is a popular and easy-to-grow succulent with rows of fleshy, tear-drop shaped leaves.
Sedum morganianum is one of the most beautiful succulent plants that add an exotic touch to the place where it is present. The succulent is most often called by the name donkey tail it is characterized by the compact arrangement of bulged pointed leaves which are sequentially arranged on a thin trailing stem.
Sedum morganianum is a fragile and unique succulent. As it grows and trails, its thick clusters of crescent-shaped leaves spiral around its stem. It gets its name from the tail-like appearance those clusters create. This is possibly the perfect plant to use in a head-shaped planter, which is why I’m on the hunt for a medusa head to plant mine in. Mature specimens will produce reddish-pink flowers at the end of their 2′-4′ long stems in the spring and summer.
Donkey tail succulent with minimal care can do wonders to provide that desert touch to your landscape. Whosoever is planting this succulent is required to keep some patience, as the burrows tail require quite a time to grow.
When it comes to caring of this succulent, the plant is very sturdy and can withstand most adverse conditions. One needs to take minimal care of this plant by providing the plant with partial shade, less watering, and well-drained soil. The succulent can add amazing texture to the place where it resides and lives happily in a hanging basket with its protruding stems out of the basket.
We’ll be sharing more about this plant in future.
