Notes: White stonecrop is a tufted perennial herb that forms mat-like stands. Much of the year the stems are short, semi prostrate and densely clad in leaves. At the flowering time the stems lengthen and are erect, occasionally branched and often pinkish-brown. Sedum album is sometimes cultivated in gardens and is a successful plant on green roofs. White Stonecrop has naturalized in a number of countries.
