Sedum oreganum
Oregon stonecrop is a hardy, mat-forming succulent native to rocky outcrops, cliffs, and coastal bluffs of the Pacific Northwest. It forms dense carpets of small, fleshy, rounded leaves that can take on reddish or bronze tones in drought or strong sun. In summer, it produces clusters of bright yellow, star-shaped flowers that are highly attractive to native bees and other pollinators. Adapted to thin, well-drained soils and exposed conditions, S. oreganum plays a role in stabilizing rocky habitats and supporting biodiversity, while its resilience and ornamental appeal make it valuable in rock gardens, planters, and green roofs. Drought tolerant.
