sedum reflexum

Sedum reflexum, native to mountainous areas of Central and Northern Europe, inhabits calcareous rocky slopes. This perennial polycarpic species is notable within its genus for its reflexed cylindrical leaves, which minimize water loss through evapotranspiration. Leaves are cylindrical, 1-2 cm long, arranged in open rosettes with downward-pointing tips. Color shifts from glaucous green to pale yellow in summer, intensifying during winter months.
