Stonecrop! (Genus Sedum)

Labagh Woods - Chicago, IL - April 6th 2024

Do you know what species this is? Help me identify it on INaturalist here

Stonecrops are a Succulant Dicot. Species of Stonecrop can be found across the world. I think they look super cool, I didn't know they existed before finding this plant and was very shocked to find a succulent in the forest preserves of Chicago.

Plant of the Day

Growing on this stone wall in Stromness, Orkney was Sedum spurium (Caucasian stonecrop, crimson stonecrop, large fringed stonecrop). This is a vigorous, mat-forming, semi-evergreen perennial with fleshy leaves on a spreading, rooting stems. The flowers are produced in late summer being pink or white in colour.

The first chapter of my comic: The Stonecrop Serpent, is now available as a PDF on Ko-Fi!

Krait'Snap's first memory is of dying. Rescued from her fate by Cobra'Hood, the young cat must solve the mystery of her near-death and find a way to repay her new family; no matter the cost.

Sedum spectabile (butterfly stonecrop var: 'Brilliant')

The butterfly stonecrop is a reliable late-summer/early-fall bloomer. At this time of year they face less competition from other flowers and, I assure you, all the local bees are paying a lot of attention to this beautiful, pink variety, 'Brilliant'.

Enjoying a walk through Stonectop’s glass houses on a foggy day. The color and scents were lovely. Glad we support them every year.

"The cuteness of spreading stonecrop is primarily due to its teeny, round, pudgy, succulent leaves. The leaves are stemless (sessile) and arranged on opposite sides of the stalk. 

They stay green all year—unless they are stressed, when they turn red or maroon. 

They look good enough to eat—like a vegetative gumdrop—and Pojar and Mackinnon tell us that, indeed, the leaves can be eaten!"

Plant of the Day

Tuesday 12 September 2023

This garden dry stone wall hosts a number of Sedum species including the grey foliaged Sedum spathulifolium 'Cape Blanco' (spoon-leaved stonecrop). The fleshy rosettes are silver-grey in winter becoming blue-grey in summer, overlaid with a white bloom which intensifies with drought.
