Sedum Twinkling Star - Orpin d'automne
The young plant has suffered a bit during the journey, with a broken stem. I followed your advice, I rehydrated it and left it outside on the terrace for a while. I will see if it grows in its soil.

Sedum 'Twinkling Star' is a wide and compact variety of autumn stonecrop, with strong, well-branched stems from the base. It adorns itself with beautiful, slightly faded shades, both soft and melancholic. It is a succulent perennial with fleshy stems. It bears wide inflorescences composed of small mauve-brown buds that gradually open into a myriad of pale-yellow to green star-shaped flowers. These blooms rise above the rounded grey-green and glossy foliage. The whole forms a wide and fluffy tuft, animated by a constant ballet of butterflies. It is a carefree plant, which requires very little maintenance. It gives an indescribable charm to the late season. This plant grows in dry soil.
The 'Twinkling Star' autumn stonecrop belongs to the Crassulaceae family. It is a recent cultivar derived from Sedum spectabile, which is native to China and Korea. It forms bushy tufts, wider than they are tall, with a slightly spreading habit reaching 45cm (18in) in height and spreading over 60cm (24in). Its growth rate is quite slow. Flowering occurs from September onwards, and stops at the first frosts. The inflorescences, in flat and dense terminal cymes, reach 15cm (6in) in diameter. The tiny flowers emerge as mauve-brown-blue buds, then open into pale yellow-green flowers, sometimes tinged with faded pink. They form false umbels that are intensely nectar-rich and honey-bearing. The thick and fleshy deciduous foliage is ovate, with undulate and crenate margins at the base of the plant. The colour of the leaves is intermediate between grey and green, with tin-like reflections, slightly more purplish on mature leaves. The decorative brown-violet seeds feed birds in winter.
Sedum 'Twinkling Star' is a godsend for gardens where the soil lacks depth. It prefers well-drained, even dry soil. Mix it with stones and walls, with grasses like stipa, and with grey-foliaged plants like artemisias and sea cinerarias, which accept difficult living conditions. You can create an original scene by planting it with autumn asters, gaura, or magellan fuchsias. Its sculptural appearance is magnificent in a pot. Its flowers are also excellent for drying or for fresh bouquets.

Botanical data
Plant in ordinary, fairly rich soil. It will grow in dry, sandy and chalky soil, but it must be well-drained to protect the roots from the cold moisture of winter. Excessive fertilisation can distort this upright variety. Plant it in full sun to enhance the foliage colouration. This plant is hardy once established. It needs some moisture during its growing period. In pots, provide a layer of gravel for drainage. Cut back the clump in winter when it is dry. Divide the plant after 3 to 4 years to encourage vigorous growth and prevent it from thinning out in the centre and the lateral stems from collapsing onto the ground.
Stonecrops are very easy to propagate. In spring, cut a stem or even a leaf and leave for a few days in a dry and shaded place, before placing in a tray of moist sand.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
