Sedum ternatum aka Wild Stonecrop

Sedum ternatum, commonly known as woodland stonecrop, is the most widespread native Sedum species in eastern North America. It can be found in the forest understory as well as sunnier locations when sufficient moisture is present. This shade-tolerant species is known for its ability to thrive atop boulders, thanks to its succulent leaves which help it retain moisture in shallow soil. It has white flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer, and can be distinguished from other sedums by its four-petaled flowers and leaves that grow in whorls of three. Native to much of the eastern United States, Sedum ternatum is often used in landscaping in shady spots and in pots. It adapts well to garden use and its succulent leaves make it easy to propagate. In the Sedum genus, plants are incredibly diverse and are native to regions all over the world. Horticulturalists have bred them to create even more varieties that come in all shapes and colors.
