I may have asked this before but ....

This plant gently self sows in my troughs and is a nice,bright addition.
But what is it?
It looks like a sedum but, if so, which one?

[JohnnyD]

It seems I am not the only one who is baffled!!!
Does this new pic help?

Can you give some idea of scale?

[JohnnyD]

Hi Gail.
Plant is 15cm wide and 6cm tall.
Usually it is in the form of seedlings which are less than that.
Does this give you a clue?

When the flowers have done their stuff - you get this.....

I would agree sedum but don't know which one - there is however a Sedum Society and they offer an identification service if you want to send in a cutting;

Thanks Gail - that may be my only chance.

Good friend Carol Kellett has keyed the sedum out.
It is Sedum annuum, a native of cold northerm climes and a few spots in Spain and the alps.
Phew!
Although usually annual I suspect the plant shown may have survived into a second year to achieve the size.
