I just love this little sedum! I feel like I have to have a pot of these around in my possession at all times, but it is hard to maintain so it is a struggle sometimes. I'm always looking for them to make sure I have one Lovey dubby
Lynn, is this one of the Sedum anglicums? Here it is sold as "Suzy Q'.

I'm not sure what species it would be Bev. I did find this tiny bit of information on it. Seems that it has a TM on it.

Linda sent it to me last month. I am really loving this tiny gem.

Like I said before, I was still looking for more Little Missy (here, in nurseries they are labeled "Suzy Q" ) and in the process of looking I found this little sedum that I think is also precious but it was un-labeled. Now these two are my favorite tiny sedums... Lovey dubby

The new discovery but don't know what it is and the more known Little Missy potted up with E. setosa

Oh my, that new one is wonderful. Now we must find out what it is. Wonder if it is winter hardy?
Something about it looks familiar, not the leaf color, but the growth habit. It is to cute.

I have to clear up the above untrue statement I made. The Suzy Q sold here is not Little Missy. They are two separate distinct sedums. Sorry about the mix-up.

Here is Little Missy:

The two look related. I see the 'Suzie Q' says that it is a form of Sedum anglicum. It doesn't have the look of a S. anglicum.
I see it does have a patent pending.
It was introduced by Native Sons Wholesale Nursery and was named after their propagator Susie.

I have the green form of 'Little Missy'. Chickhill sent it to me. It too is a sweet tiny sedum.

Bought in summer of 2013, never saw any solid green stems until today 11-23-14. I did pull and pot up to see if it turns out to be the NOID I bought the same day that is solid green.
P S I keep Missy in my kitchen window through the winter.

I brought both Little Missy and her green sister indoors for the winter. So far so good. Hope I don't kill them.

This is an extremely old thread, but I am writing this just so anyone who reads this, I hope to clarify this a bit:

Sedum Little Missy, which is actually Crassula pellucida subsp. marginalis 'Petite Bicolor', is a crassula.
Sedum anglicum Suzie Q is a variegated variety of Anglicum.
Easiest way to differentiate the two is by leaf shape:
-> Little Missy usually grows two leaves per node, whereas Suzie Q generally grows in rosette shapes (sometimes will also make 2 leaves per node, but this usually doesn't happen a lot)
-> Little Missy's leaves are much thinner, and "triangle" like, more acute, whereas Suzie Q's leaves are chubbier, slightly more elongated, thicker, and rounder.
-> Suzie Q is much more unstable than Little Missy, so generally, when looking at large colonies of Suzie Q, you may find many "variations", unless the specimen is kept very well trimmed and cut. Some examples are half moon, albino, reverted, reverted/variegated etc. Little Missy is generally more stable, and rarely has fully albino leaves, but occasionally puts out reverted stems.

Do note that because of the unstable-ness of these 2 varieties, it is best to remove reverted stems or rosettes from specimens as they grow to make sure the reverted ones do not take over. Albino rosettes/stems are technically "parasites" because they do not make their own food, they survive only from taking nutrients from the parts of the plant that have chlorophyll, so, it is also best to remove those, unless you like that look of no chlorophyll.
