Sedum Morganium (Donkey’s Tail)

Sedum Morganium (Donkey's Tail), Drought Tolerant Plants

Sedum Morganium, more commonly known as the “Donkey’s Tail” can be thought of as a common plant. Here at Orange County Succulents we pride ourselves in doing the common, uncommonly well. To an untrained eye a donkeys tail is a donkeys tail, but to us we see so much more than that. Each plant is categorized by plants per pot (ppp). It’s like comparing two different animals, or apples to oranges, they just aren’t in the same league. Our goal is to make successful gardens from the beginning stages of propagation with our cuttings. Save money by using fewer plants, start with a plant that has more plants per pot from the beginning. Ask your local grower not only how much a plant costs, but how many plants are in the pot, there is much more to the value of the plant than the pot size.
