Description
Sedum clavatum is also known as the Mexican stonecrop due to its origins. It is a prolific small succulent plant that quickly forms a small clump of round rosettes with light colours. Its white flowering is charming, in late spring. It is an easy-to-grow plant, but sensitive to cold. Outside of coastal gardens where it can be used in a partially shaded rockery, it will look wonderful in a large pot or a hanging basket to be protected in winter.
Sedum or Hylotelephium clavatum is a small perennial plant of the family Crassulaceae. It is a botanical species native to Mexico, where it is only found in the gorges of Tiscalatengo in the south of the state of Mexico. Its species name, clavatum, comes from the Latin word "clava" which means club, due to the shape of its leaves. With rapid growth, this stonecrop does not exceed 10 cm in height but can spread up to 40 cm in width, or even more. Its creeping stems are branched, and they bear round leaf rosettes that can measure 3 to 7 cm in diameter. The leaves are very fleshy and small, club-shaped, chalky, and overlapping with each other. Their colour can vary depending on the season and exposure, ranging from glaucous green to almost white or bluish-white. They partially turn pink in winter due to the cold. In May-June, short oval-shaped flower spikes of 10-12 cm appear. Each spike carries numerous small star-shaped white flowers measuring a few mm in diameter. The hardiness of this sedum is low, around -4 to -6°C if planted in dry soil. It should be brought indoors in winter in a temperate greenhouse or any bright and lightly heated space.
In the wild, this clavatum stonecrop thrives in partial shade in rock crevices, where it can live with little soil. These are conditions that gardeners can easily provide, in pots or even in the ground in mild climates. Rampant sedums are a blessing for stony areas, rockeries, and places where the soil is thin and poor. To accompany them, choose, for example, houseleeks or Delosperma. All these small plants will create a colourful mosaic.

Planting and care
Plant Sedum clavatum in bright shade, without direct sunlight, in light soil, preferably well-drained to protect the roots from cold winter moisture. A mixture of compost, sand, and garden soil will work well. In a coastal garden, it can be planted between stones in a rockery or on top of a wall, in partial shade. It will quickly form a beautiful almost white carpet there.
In pots, provide a layer of gravel for drainage. Water regularly from spring to the end of summer, reduce in winter. Divide the plant after 3 to 4 years to encourage vigorous growth and prevent it from thinning out in the centre.
Sedums are very easy to propagate. In spring, cut a stem or even a leaf and let them dry for a few days in a dry and shady place, then place them in a tray of moist sand.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
