Talk:Sedum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A good addition to this page would be a section about low-lying Sedum varieties that can be used as a grass replacement (no need to water and mown it all the time). Anybody knows enough about that to give it a shot? --MikeCapone 18:22, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Edibility

The Sedum reflexum species has a slightly astringent sour taste; in Europe (and United Kingdom) it is used in salads and eaten as a vegetable occasionally.

I added this; anyone else able to verify it?? --LiverpoolCommander 10:02, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Done. --SB_Johnny|talk|books 10:06, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Wrong redirect

Sedum reflexum redirects to this page. It should get its own page, and Sedum rupestre schould redirect thereto. Dysmorodrepanis 12:01, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Sedum album?

I removed this image from Sedum album as it doesn't look as if it is the same species as in the taxobox. If you know what species it is please move it accordingly. Thanks Smartse (talk) 13:56, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Sedum album with quarter (23.88 mm) to indicate scale


Sedum Angelina

Usually I am able to find a lot of species, common and uncommon on wikipedia. I have a species of
sedum that I have identified (by multiple sources), to be Sedum Angelina. This species is not confirmed by
wikipedia, only because the species is NOT listed. Sedum Angelina should be added by someone with a lot
more "expertise." Znoec (talk) 06:20, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Could it be the cultivar Sedum rupestre 'Angelina'? --82.40.89.223 (talk) 22:50, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

sedum multiceps

I believe the s.multiceps (aka [Pygmy|Dwarf] Joshua Tree) should also appear here.

Would it make sense to link × Cremnosedum here, as that is a hybrid genus produced from crossing Sedum and Cremnophila (plant)? This may need an extra sentence regarding possible hybrids. Talgorey (talk) 14:02, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Taxonomic nonsense

This article and Sempervivoideae both claim that the genus Sedum is spread over multiple higher-rank taxa. The author seems to think of this as a matter-of-fact, uncontroversial and unproblematic statement.

This is total hogwash. Such an arrangement breaks tree-based taxonomy on a fundamental, topological level, and I find it very hard to believe that a professional taxonomist would put such a statement into writing. Hence, it is extremely unlikely (barring gross misinterpretation) these statements are backed by credible material. ~2026-11614-51 (talk) 18:24, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

See duplicated discussion at Talk:Sempervivoideae where I have responded. Peter coxhead (talk) 17:28, 22 March 2026 (UTC)
