Very-low growing succulent perennial with light-green leaves with tints of red. the leaves look like little clusters of balls or bones. Small pink flowers bloom in late-summer. Best planted in rock gardens an atop stone walls where it can be seen. Unusual, but worth looking for if you love sedums and succulents.

As a group, sedums prefer well-drained soils, including sandy-loam, clay-loam, or rocky soils, as long as it is well drained. In nature, most sedums occur in light shade or partly sunny sites, while a few are also well-adapted to full sun situations. They can tolerate both drought conditions or more frequent watering, but the key is good drainage. Their xeric nature makes sedums popular for use in rock gardens, roof gardens, wall gardens, and living wreaths.
