Woodland Stonecrop

Woodland Stonecrop (Sedum ternatum). A perennial evergreen, a succulent herb.

Woodland Stonecrop is the most common native Sedum species in eastern North America.

Its spiky white flowers bloom from April to June. The nectar and pollen of those blooms attract many species of bees. The plants generally are 3 to 6 inches tall, sometimes reaching a height of 8 inches tall.

I have Woodland Stonecrop growing in my yard. It’s a great native ground cover. Highly recommended.
