BURRO’S TAIL

Burro’s tail (Sedum morganianum) is a Succulents variety of plant.

TEMPERATURE

It is a heat- and drought-tolerant plant that is well suited for warm to temperate regions.The thick stems gives the leaves a woven or plaited look. The succulent is green to gray-green or even blue-green in color and may have a slightly chalky look.

Adorn your balcony, or workdesk or a corner of your terrace with a burro’s tail houseplant or use it on the patio or a full sun garden bed.

WATERING AND CARE

Water carefully when growing burro’s tail. Keep the plant moderately and evenly moist. Excess water can cause the stems to rot and even kill the succulent. Burro’s tail works well in a hanging basket and decorates a mixed cactus and succulent container. It will flourish in rockery cracks and makes a unique ground cover.

BURRO’S TAIL VS DONKEY’S TAIL

However people should not confuse Burro’s Tail with the famous Donkey’s Tail. As popular as donkey’s tail is, not many people know that there are actually two kinds. Donkey’s Tail (sedum morganianum) and Burro’s Tail (sedum morganianum ‘Burrito’ or simply sedum ‘Burrito’, depending on the source) are so similar that they’re often sold under the same name.
