Sedum praealtum (Bush Sedum) - A small shrub to 1 to 3 feet tall spreading to 3 to 4 feet wide and rooting along stems to form a large mass. The 1 1/2-inch-long green leaves of this plant are spathulate with an almost ovate leaf and large clusters of small vivid yellow star-like flowers that form above the foliage in late winter and early spring. A drought tolerant small shrub with late winter color. Useful in street medians and other locations where a low growing, low maintenance, drought resistant plant is needed.

We previously sold this plant as San Marcos Growers, established in 1979, will close at the end of 2025 so that the property can be developed for affordable housing.
