    H. spectabile 'Hot Stuff' is the shortest of the H. spectabile cultivars available on the market. Bred by Gary Gossett and introduced by Terra Nova Nurseries.

    For me, I find this one a must-have in the succulent beds. I find that it has strong upright stems that do not flop or fall over from the center of the clump. Non-branching habit. Very different leaf color from the other sedums in the beds, nice almost pale-blue/green color.
    I do not fertilize, so in my garden this plant grows to 10 inches tall to the top of the bloom heads.

    Here it is growing with taller 'Plum Perfection' on the left, 'Chocolate Drop' on the right, and 'Blue Pearl' and 'Elsie's Gold' in back.
