Common name: Tasteless Stonecrop
Botanical name: Sedum sexangulare Family: Crassulaceae (sedum family)
Sedum is a large genus of the Crassulaceae, representing about 400 species of
leaf succulents, found throughout the northern hemisphere, varying from annual
groundcovers to shrubs. The plants have water-storing leaves and a typical
form of blossom with five petals, seldom four or six. There are typically
twice as many stamens as petals.
Easy, tough, low maintenance & perfect for planting on stone walls,
between paving stones or along path edges, parking strips and in containers,
too. Sedum sexangulare forms a dense, little carpet to 4” tall and makes
curiously shaped, six-sided foliage topped by starry, bright yellow flowers in
June & July. The foliage is sweet tasting & turns a pretty copper color in
full sun.
