This plant comes from Sierra Madre del Sur in Oaxaca, Mexico. The name Sedum is derived from the Latin word 'sedere' meaning to "to sit" in refererence to the low-growing habit and the manner in which some species attach themselves to stones or walls and the specific epithet is from the Greek words 'pachys' meaning thick and 'phyton' meaning "plant" in reference to the thick leaves of this plant. Another common name for it is Jade Beads Plants < Sedum pachyphyllum It has long been in cultivation and is considered to one of the parents, with Sedum stahlii, of the even more common Jelly Bean Plant (AKA Pork and Beans), Sedum × rubrotinctum.
