📌 Product Description

Sedum morganianum ‘Burrito’, commonly known as Baby Donkey Tail, is a trailing succulent prized for its compact, bead-like leaves densely packed along cascading stems. Unlike the longer-leaved Donkey Tail, the ‘Burrito’ variety has shorter, rounder foliage that creates a fuller, thicker appearance.

Its soft blue-green leaves form elegant trailing strands that spill beautifully over pots and hanging baskets. In bright light, the foliage may develop a subtle silvery or slightly yellow-green tone.

A low-maintenance, drought-tolerant succulent perfectly suited to South African patios, balconies, and indoor bright-light spaces.
