How to identify Sedum furfuraceum (Sedum furfuraceum)
Sedum furfuraceum is a compact, slow-growing succulent reaching heights of 3 to 4 inches (7.5 to 10 cm) and potentially spreading over 1 foot (30 cm) wide on creeping stems. The plant features small, egg-shaped leaves that are 1/4 to 3/8 inches (6 to 9.5 mm) long, with a dark green hue, covered in scurfy whitish scales and spirally arranged. When exposed to bright light, the leaves may take on a reddish-purple tone, while lower leaves age to a reddish-orange before dropping, revealing twisted, gray-white stems. In early spring, sedum furfuraceum produces pinkish-white, star-like flowers enduring roughly 10 days.
