Sedum sexangulare   Tasteless Stonecrop

Sedum sexangulare whole Sedum sexangulare close

Occasionally seen as an introduction in the British Isles where it is often used as a garden plant, this low growing perennial Stonecrop is native to much of central and northern Europe. In many Stonecrop species notably Sedum acre (Biting Stonecrop) which look quite similar, the leaves have a strongly peppery taste but this one has hardly any taste at all and is also known as Insipid Stonecrop.

The leaves are narrow, cylindrical-ish and arranged in spirals of four, five or six rows which are best seen in the non flowering stems.
