Sedum ternatum / Wild Stonecrop (Stonecrop Family)

Not your typical sedum, this species is particularly tolerant of shade and moist soils, but will also grow well in typical sedum habitats of drier sun. Plants are quite diminutive and make great evergreen ground covers. Try this adaptable plant in rock gardens, fairy gardens, containers, in between stepping stones, and terrariums. Tiny white flowers appear in very early spring and contrast beautifully with the plump, green leaves.
