Sedum glaucophyllum, the cliff stonecrop,[1] is a species of Sedum native to the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States from West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina.[2]
Sedum glaucophyllum is a prostrate, mat-forming evergreen perennial plant forming patches up to 30-40 cm (12-16 inches) in diameter. The leaves are glaucous green, succulent, rounded, 1-2 cm (0.4-0.8 inches) long and wide, arranged in a dense helix on the stems. The flowers are white, 10-12 mm (0.40-0.48 inches) in diameter, with five slender, pointed petals; they are produced in clusters on erect stems up to 10 cm (4 inches) tall, held above the foliage.[3]
