Does anyone know what this plant is called?

The Garden Frog with C Renee on Sep 04, 2013Does Kalanchoe ring a bell? If it was a houseplant and it a succulent type. Be sure to bring it soon before the cold sets in. It looks a like a sedum too but those are perennials.Helpful Reply

Donna Gill on Sep 04, 2013I agree it is a Kalanchoe @Carol cirillo. It should overwinter nicely in side. Watch out for your early frosts or it will turn to mush.Helpful Reply

Rose S on Sep 06, 2013I'll put my money on Sedum. You can take some in the house to overwinter, and leave some outside. If it comes back great guns next year it is a Sedum. I have several and they can become ground covers very quickly if left alone outside. Some of mine die ack, but next spring they are right there, pumping iron, and growing lushly. :-)Helpful Reply

Cheryl stanley on Sep 06, 2013not a kalanchaloe. it's a sedum. I have had it for years in a tire planter outside. it has completely filled the tire and is beautiful when in bloom. it has survived all of those many years through all of those cold Missouri winters, many temps below 0 and under tons of snow. you don't need to bring it in over the winter.Helpful Reply

Winona Spinks on Sep 06, 2013It does look like Kalamchoe...there are different varieties with red, pink, yellow blooms. My Mother lives on the Gulf Coast of Texas. She has beds of these that withstand the winters just fine. I brought some to my home in North Texas but I put most of them in pots so I can bring them in during our colder weather...however, the ones I planted in beds have survived.Helpful Reply

Alice Harley-Wosnig on Sep 06, 2013I would say kalanchoe has a variety of leaf sizes. This one looks like they are all the same size. I would say then that it is a sedum.Helpful Reply

Jennie McFarling on Sep 06, 2013My vote is for kalanchie. I live in Southern California and they come in all colors of flowers. My stay in the groud all year. A picture of it in bloom would settle all opinions. Sedums usually have fatter leaves (thick) leaves to store moisture.Helpful Reply

P on Sep 06, 2013It is a Sedum...my mom called it "Live Forever". It is very hardy and you can make new starts by cutting a sprig and putting in a pot or in the ground where ever you want it to grow. It has a mounding shape when spaced by itself and ours bloomed in pinks/purple and yellow, but I have seen a variety called Autumn Splendor I believe, that blooms in a red color. Great plant, but the bees to like it a lot when in bloom. I live in Mo, zone 5...ours stays in the ground all year and multiplies on it's own.Helpful Reply

Terri Jones on Sep 06, 2013Most definitely Sedum. It is a perennial. I have had mine for over 15 years outside in my special water garden. It will die down to the ground in winter but come back every spring and spreads more and more with every season. It is also very easy to start new plants from. I just dig up a part of it and put it in the ground. It is that easy. They are very hardy. Sedum foliage color can include green, purple, blue, yellow, or even variegated with multiple colors. In the autumn Sedum leaves may take on reddish or copper hues. Butterflies just absolutely love the flowers.Helpful Reply

Mariposa on Sep 06, 2013I believe Kalanchoe gets little circles on the leaves that you can use to make a new plant. I still believe it's a sedum :)Helpful Reply

April E on Sep 06, 2013Sedum kamtschaticum and is hardy zone 4-9 and as most of Maine is zone 4/5 you should be good for hardiness if the plant is in the ground but in a pot bring it in I am adding 2 pics so you can see this is your plantHelpful Reply

Darlene on Sep 07, 2013I would do what Rose S. says. Take some in, leave some out. I too think it may be a sedum. If it is I have one in my garden that comes back each year. I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. it gets super cold here (-30 to -40) in the winter.Helpful Reply

April E on Sep 09, 2013actually @Jennie McFarling sedum is a very versatile plant it will grow well in a dry climate but it will also thrive in other areas there are wild sedums living even in areas of Alaska there are varieties (many) that are hardy all the way down to zone 3 and moisture is not a issue as long as their soil is well draining so no bogs and you are good the only thing that is consistant is they prefer sun lots of itHelpful Reply

Jessie Hammond on Sep 17, 2013The leaves look a lot like the " Chiastophyllum oppositifolium "Cotyledon " but at a closer look you can see that they are not the same. Your plant is a Kalanchoe. Check out this link & see if this is what your plant looks like in bloom. http://houseplants.about.com/od/succulentsandcacti/p/Kalanchoe.htmHelpful Reply
