White stonecrop (Sedum album)
White stonecrop, also known as Sedum athoum, Hardy baby tears, Small houseleek, Thick-leaved stonecrop
White stonecrop (Sedum album) is well-suited for growth in temperate climates and thrives in dry, well-drained environments such as rocky soils and crevices. It is commonly found in locations like walls, dry slopes, coastal rocks, and rocky fields. This low-growing plant is adapted to survive in thin, nutrient-poor soils and typically does not fare well in competition with faster-growing species.
