This variety spreads like a sedum with the rosettes growing out on the ends of long stems.Graptosedum species will tolerate some shade but hold back on the water more than if it was in full sun. Graptosedum has a clump-forming habit and grows to a height of approximately 15cm. They are generally easy to propagate, by seeds, leaf cuttings or offsets.
