Unknown Sedum

Submitted by Boland on

I grew this plant as Rhodiola kirilowii but it is certainly a sedum (or hylotelephium) akin to kamstchaticum. The plamnt is about 10-12" tall so much taller than the two cultivars of kamtschaticum I currently have. Anyone recognize it?

Todd, I have the same plant, but grown as Sedum kirilowii.  I have always suspected it is wrong but never bothered to check out what it might actually be.  It seeds around too much and I pull most of the seedlings out.  Possibly it is S. aizoon as Lori suggests.  Maybe in 2011 I'll give it a harder look to apply a proper name, or I might pull it out altogether.

Thanks guys...I always thought aizoon and kamtschaticum were synonyms, but i guess not!  My mystery is certainly of the aizoon group and does look much like the hyperaizoon or maximowiczii.  Mine has never self-seeded.  I like it well enough.
