This Sedum is a ground cover type that produces clusters of tiny, round leaves just a few millimeters across. The leaves are quite delicate and will easily fall off when touched, and the stems look thin and fragile like threads—but don’t let that fool you. True to the hardy spirit of succulents, it quickly puts out lots of new shoots from dropped leaves, and any stems you cut and stick into soil will start growing on their own. It originally comes from Europe. Even though it’s simply called dasyphyllum, there’s actually a huge range of leaf shapes and sizes, and some varieties have fine fuzzy hairs while others don’t. The super-popular cultivar "Purple Haze" S. dasyphyllum 'Purple Haze' is one of these variants.

This is a super cute groundcover-type Sedum, producing plump, round leaves around a slender central stem—though each leaf only measures a few millimeters across. It’s native to a wide range across Europe. The basic leaf color is a dark, bluish green, but in colder weather and bright sunlight the leaves can turn gorgeous shades of purple.
Even though we tend to call them all “dasyphyllum,” that’s about where the similarities stop—there’s a lot of diversity: some types have just four leaves per whorl, others have many; some have fuzzy leaves, while others are smooth. There’s a lot of variation.
The Japanese name "Himehoshibijin" (meaning "tiny star beauty") may have originally referred to just one dasyphyllum variety, but nowadays it feels more like a common name for the whole group—including all their different variants and subspecies.
ヨーロッパからアジア、もちろん日本にも、広く広く分布する多肉植物のスーパーメジャー級勢力。砂漠に限らず、岩場だったり高原だったり土手の上だったり…他の植物が苦手な「水の少ない場所」ならどこにでも居を構えます。基本的にとても小さくあまり目立たちませんが、多肉植物としての実力は本物で、1ヶ月水がなくても生きていけるし、日差しもなんのその。近年その強さに注目が集まり、壁面緑化や屋上緑化に使われています。
日当たりの良いところを好みます。グランドカバーというイメージから大きな植物の影に植えてしまいがちですが、ひょろひょろと徒長してしまいます。1日3～6時間以上の日照が理想的。夏の強すぎる日差しは葉焼けももちろん、株の温度が上がりすぎて溶けてしまうので要注意。
基本的には夏も冬も外で大丈夫な品種が多いです。ミセバヤやオノマンネングサなど、冬になると枯れてしまうけど、春になると吹き返す宿根性のものもあります。
基本的には、土が乾いてから、たっぷりと与えます。葉っぱの貯水量が少ないので、水が切れるとすぐに下葉が枯れてきます。それで株自体が枯れることはあまりないけど、見た目に良くないので、少し頻度高めに与えるのがポイント。
春と秋に、液肥か緩効性の肥料を。小苗のうちは窒素を控えめに。とはいえ無くても元気に育ちます。無い方が冬によく発色するとか。
鉢が窮屈になってきたら、一回り大きな鉢に植え替えます。根は深くないので浅めの大きな鉢で。他の植物が根を張るその上でもOKです。環境が合うとすぐにいっぱいになります。
葉挿しか、挿し木、株分けで増やします。虹の玉やパープルヘイズなど、葉っぱが丸いものは、その葉っぱをポロポロ取って種のように巻いておくと芽が出てきます。コーラルカーペットのような葉っぱが細くて小さいものは、枝先を切って土に挿しておくと、それが根付いて成長してくれます。ミセバヤのような大きなものは、葉挿しや挿し木がうまくいきにくいので、植え替えの際に株を幾つかに切り分けて増やします。
Exactly how many scientifically recognized varieties there are depends on which reference you use, but it’s generally 2 or 3.
The standard Sedum dasyphyllum. Its main trait is that when viewed from above, you typically see only four leaves arranged in a cross (“decussate”), and from the side, the leaves grow out as pairs from the same height, known as “opposite leaves.”
The variety glanduliferum. Unlike the standard, this one has single leaves coming out at different heights—what’s called “alternate leaves”—as seen from the side. Other than that, it’s almost impossible to distinguish it from regular dasyphyllum, since both show huge variation depending on the plant or where it’s from (and sometimes you’ll even find individuals where the whole alternate/opposite pattern is swapped, which makes things even more chaotic…).
S. dasyphyllum var.suendermanii (Fuzzy?)
Sedum dasyphyllum var.granatense (Many leaves?)
Sedum dasyphyllum var.alternum (Alternate?)
Many of these other named variants, which were originally classified based on unique features, are now considered the same as glanduliferum. That’s how much diversity glanduliferum can show. Both Purple Haze and Reference are thought to belong to this group as well.
The variety oblongifolium. It doesn’t have any especially well-defined features, but seems to make lots of large leaves, forming a sort of rosette. The garden variety ‘Major’ is similar in appearance.
A superstar garden variety, this one colors up in vibrant reds and purples in the cool season. It’s even more famous than dasyphyllum itself (haha). The leaves are arranged alternately, so it’s thought to be a type of glanduliferum.
Some say that of all the plants sold as "dasyphyllum," this might be the main one. It looks almost identical to Purple Haze, though if you look closely, its leaves might be a bit bigger. Maybe the stems stretch more? Or the leaves look more like a rosette from above instead of a cross? Hmm… it’s hard to say for sure—maybe it’s just an environmental difference.
As the name suggests, this is a larger type. Instead of forming crosses, the leaves spread out and pile up densely in a rosette—so it almost looks like a miniature ‘Beer Hop’ S. burrito .
A rare garden cultivar. The leaves are arranged opposite each other, so it’s thought to come from the standard dasyphyllum line.
A garden cultivar known only by name—no detailed information available.
Another variety that exists only in name. As the name hints, it’s probably a small one, but no detailed info so far.
