A modest stonecrop

Sedum pallidum is a succulent member of the Crassulaceae family, the same clan of thick-leaved, water-storing plants that gives us the wider sedum tribe. It is grown as one of the many stonecrops valued for their undemanding, low-growing habit.

Succulent stems, starry blooms

Like other sedums, this species carries succulent stems and leaves built to hold moisture. In summer or autumn it produces clusters of small, star-shaped flowers, a trait typical of the genus it belongs to.
