Sedum stenopetalum subsp. ciliosum

Pale wormleaf stonecrop

Family: Crassulaceae · Type: perennial · Native

Pale wormleaf stonecrop is a California native perennial found in rocky, dry slopes at elevations of 1,600 to 2,000 meters. Flowering in July, this plant produces delicate white flowers with green to white filaments. Growing in low, compact rosettes with stems emerging from dense leaf clusters, it forms small mats across rocky terrain. Its leaves are distinctive, with outer rosette leaves having slightly papillate-ciliate margins near the tips, creating a subtle textured appearance. The compact growth and white flowers make this stonecrop a subtle but charming alpine plant.
