About This Variety
Meet This Variety
Linear stonecrop (Sedum lineare) is a low-growing perennial succulent with narrow green leaves and small yellow, star-shaped flowers. Spreading stems can form a mat over rocky ground, slopes, path edges, and container rims.
Grow in full sun and sharply drained soil, including sandy, gravelly, shallow, or rocky sites. Water gently while seedlings establish, then let the soil begin to dry between waterings rather than keeping roots saturated.
