Sedum or Senecio?

Posted & filed under .

A potted succulent, possibly a Sedum or Senecio, with silvery-green, fleshy leaves sits on a sunlit brick patio. Another plant in a separate pot is partially visible to the right. The background shows soil and the base of a wall.

Hi there-

I found myself on your website when doing a Google search for the plant in the attached photo. I am a landscape designer in San Diego and a fellow designer suggested that it might be Sedum rupestre ‘Silver’; I’m not so sure because the plant height is more than 1′ high. Can any of you ID this plant for me, I sure would appreciate it.

Kind regards,

Definitely not a Sedum. You can tell from the old flower stalk there it is a Senecio, probably Senecio haworthii.

Stay safe, Peter
