If the leaves are easily falling off, it should be one of several variants of
Sedum dasyphyllum. In Sedum brevifolium the leaves are
firmly fixed after Cultivated Stonecrops by Ray Stephenson, p. 133.
The leaves falls easily off when it is very dry but not when it is moist. The fallen leaves produce roots.
Thank you for the pdf-file but it takes time reading it! My Spanish is rather absent :-\

Ray Stephenson is on holiday for another week or so, but he says he will get back to me on his return.

In my Sedum dasyphyllum the leaves are falling at any occasion
and produce roots and new plants. Blackbirds transport the
plants to all places in the rock garden except the original one.

Ray Stephenson of the Sedum Society has kindly identified this Sedum as a fine form of Sedum brevifolium. Feeling quite pleased with myself as that is what I thought it was too.

Eric, will you pass our thanks to Ray for his assistance in this, please?
Always good to get another opinion on these things to back you up, eh?

Smart plant, anyhow!

Pleased you have your sedum identified, Trond.  I took pics of my Sedum brevifolium and Sedum dasyphyllum.

I have been in Holt, Norfolk for a week and am now in London and just had time to drop in here to find this issue settled. Nice ;D

Nice plants, Roma. Do you grow all your sedums in pots?
