Burro's Tail
Sedum morganianum · Succulent
Burro's Tail is a moderate-growing succulent, hardy in USDA zones 10-11, that matures to about 1–4 ft. It does best in full sun and part shade in well-drained and very-dry soil. Expect yellow, orange and pink blooms in summer. It attracts pollinators and songbirds, stands up well to deer, drought and poor soil and grows happily in containers.
