Notes
White stonecrop (Sedum album) is a succulent for rock gardens, containers, borders, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average soil of most types. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It creeps along the ground and stays evergreen, with a low mat of gold and green leaves. Bees and butterflies visit the white blooms.
Pairs well with Biting stonecrop, Hens and chicks, and Stonecrop.
