Wild Sedum

Sedum ternatum

Wild Sedum, also known as Woodland Stonecrop, is distinguished by its lush, spreading mats of small, rounded leaves that stay vibrant throughout the growing season. In late spring, it bursts into bloom with clusters of star-shaped, white flowers that provide a light, airy feel to shaded garden areas. This sedum prefers cooler conditions than its sun-loving relatives, making it ideal for shady, moist spots in the garden, including north-facing sites and under deciduous trees. It's an excellent choice for adding texture and interest to difficult shady areas where other ground covers might not thrive.
