It was supposed to be a Sedum, but when it arrived, it didn't look like a sedum at all. The grower then said it's a "House Leak" which is an old-fashioned term for Sempervivum a genus of about 40 species of flowering plants in the family Crassulaceae. But what is it really?

The succulent in the pot above does not seem to be one central plant. It currently looks like a bunch of gangly cuttings plugged into the pot. So, what is it? What will it do? Is it a sedum or something else.

I ended up with three pots of this for the sedum bed in the courtyard, but it's definitely not the specific variety I need for the new courtyard bed.

After the fact, I'm now finally reading reviews about the seller. Apparently, the reviews of her landscaping service (full service, not merely a plant grower) - and specifically about her personally - are quite negative. Not only does she routinely sell mislabeled plants without accountability, but she can get quite hostile. One reviewer summarized the woman who runs the business as "off her rocker." The complaints about this company read more like a soap opera than mere customer complaints. She is only in her 50's but sounded like confused little old lady of about 105 when we spoke to her over the phone.

Since there is no return or exchange option, I'm keeping these plants in their original 3 pots for now before deciding what to do with them. But WHAT are they???
