Wild Stonecrop
A Succulent for the Shade
Most succulents love sun, but Wild Stonecrop (Sedum ternatum) loves the shade. It is a low-growing native groundcover with fleshy, green, succulent leaves. In spring, it is covered in starry white flowers. It is perfect for crawling over mossy rocks, damp logs, or tucking into a stone wall.
Why You Need It:
- Shade Succulent: A rare drought-tolerant plant that actually prefers shade.
- Rock Garden: Perfect for a shady rockery or fairy garden.
- Early Nectar: Provides food for early bees and pollinators.
Planting Tips:
Thrives in Part Shade to Shade. It likes moist soil but needs good drainage (like on a slope or rocky area). It is evergreen in mild winters.
