Sedum dasyphyllum Major (Stonecrop)

Tiny, bead-leaved sedum forming tight, low cushions of blue-gray foliage that can take on pink or purple tints in sun and cool temperatures. Produces small white to pale pink flowers in early summer, adding a delicate touch to its compact form. Ideal for tucking into cracks, troughs, and rock gardens where drainage is excellent and soils are lean.
