Description

Sedum clavatum is a an attractive succulent up to 4 inches (10 cm) tall with stout creeping stems terminating in 2 inch (5 cm) wide rosettes of glaucus blue-green succulent leaves and has a compact inflorescence of many white star-shaped flowers in mid to late spring to early summer that take a pink hue with age.
