Description

Sedum is a genus of succulent, herbaceous, evergreen, perennials with fleshy, flat or rounded leaves depending on the species. In general, the plant is upright and spreads along the ground. The genus has over 300 species, though many have been moved to the genus Hylotelephium. The genus name comes from the Latin word sedeo meaning to sit in reference to the habit of many of the sedum species to sit and sprawl over rocks.  

S. makinoi, or Stonecrop, is a small (4 inch high) plant with four-parted flowers in yellow and green that, like many of its genus, is often used as ground cover. The leaves tend to fall off easily; however, the fallen leaves can be used to propagate new plants. Some references describe this plant as mildly toxic if ingested, while others do not. In any event, stems and leaves may be eaten raw when very young and tender. As the stems and leaves age, but before the plants flower, the edible parts may still be eaten if they are briefly cooked. The sap can irritate the skin of some people and the leaves, eaten in quantity, can cause stomach upsets.

In nature, Stonecrop is often found in sunny situations in forests or natural areas. It can be grown as a houseplant with bright direct light from a window or grow light. Use a coarse, well-drained soil, preferably a cactus mix. Or, it can be grown outdoors where it should be sited for sun to part sun in well-drained soil. It seldom needs watering, but will grow in moist soils with good drainage. The plant tolerates drought and heat, rocky and poor soils, and establishes itself quickly. It may do less well in cold temperatures.
