Sedum pachyphyllum (Stonecrop) - A ground-hugging succulent to 1 foot tall, spreading over time by rooting stems and fallen leaves. The glaucous light green leaves are short stumby finger-like projections and are often tipped with red. Yellow flowers appear in the summer. Full sun, requires little water. This plant originally from Mexico (Sierra Mixta, San Luis and Oaxaca) is a common sight in succulent collections and windowsill planters.  The description above is based on our research and observations of this plant growing in our nursery, in our own garden and in other gardens in the Santa Barbara area. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who has additional information about this plant, even if they disagree with what we have written.
