An evergreen perennial with an almost gluttonous tendency to spread, Sedum album is one of the most common of the sedum genus found in gardens. Its tiny leaves are fleshy and cylindrical, and can root almost anywhere, creating a luscious mat of dark green over rock, sand, gravel and anything else it can get its roots into. It earns its common name, White Stonecrop, courtesy of the clusters of tiny white blossoms it displays from late spring through the summer. Well-drained soils are preferred, and it needs plenty of sun to thrive. But some shade is needed in hot summer to avoid scorching. Pruning is also needed to maintain the neat appearance of the mat.
