Another series of European Stonecrop is a type of carpet from the southwestern part of Bulgaria, Sedum STECF. Less experienced grower would it could easily be mistaken for species Sedum album. A closer look, however, we find significant differences. Core and determining at the time of my vegetation crimson red stems and leaves. When they open in late summer pink flowers, no doubt about what kind it is.

Sedum STECF has slower growth and its surrounding vegetation does not bother. It forms dense mats that directly in the sunny habitat September. With slow growth is ideal for increased sklalek parts where light falls over stones. Also has a wide application in the mounting holes and tiny rocks in different bowls. It is best to drop it to the edge to its compact stand nicely olemuje and disrupt the regularity of the shape of the container. Very impressive look in the crevices between the rocks, where its color will create a strong contrast with the background.

I admit that when I got Sedum STECF, so I underestimated his little appearance. At that time there was little sun, began to spring and the plant seemed to me really as Sedum album. It was green, dull and almost did not grow. Steak, I planted a small bowl and locate the other types of sedum. During the summer, the ugly duckling turned into a beautiful, bright red cake formed dense rosettes stěsnanými much red, succulent leaves.

STECF needs for beautiful coloring sunny habitats. When grown in the shade in a greenhouse or permanently loses red color, growth becomes more lush and Roštín it loses its attractiveness. In areas where winters are úpornější with higher frost protection is required against vymrzání. In sklace provide air cover from garlands, species grown in pots in a protected place umístníme cold greenhouse or hotbed. Before the winter it is advisable to establish a protected area are always a few cuttings, in the event that the plant would come during the winter.
