Notes
Broad-leaf stonecrop (Sedum spathulifolium) is a succulent for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun to part shade and dry to moist soil of most types. Its evergreen leaves form tight rosettes in chalky white or blue-green. Bright yellow, star-like flowers attract butterflies. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Thrift, Siskiyou lewisia, and Seaside daisy.
