What Sedum annuum is
Sedum annuum, or annual stonecrop, is a small groundcover that grows quickly from seed. It prefers open, sunlit spots where it can spread low to the ground.
Living with this plant means watching a full life cycle in a single season. Because it relies on seeds to return, you will see it sprout, bloom, and set seed before the year ends.
