Sedum album
Sedum album, white stonecrop, is a low, mat-forming succulent perennial native to Europe and northwest Iran that grows in rock crevices and thin, free-draining soils. The key to growing it is sharp drainage and plenty of sun.
Sedum album, the white stonecrop, is a flowering plant of the genus Sedum in the family Crassulaceae. It is found in the northern temperate regions of the world, often growing in crevices or free-draining rocky soil. As a long-day plant it grows vegetatively for most of the year and flowers in summer.
White stonecrop is a low-growing plant that cannot compete with more vigorous fast-growing species. It is specially adapted for growing on thin dry soils and can be found on walls, dry banks, seashore rocks and in rocky meadows.
