| Misc Facts | The pictures I have were labeled S. reflexum. Many times it is called Sedum Blue Spruce. I don't know if this is a common name or cultivar. The Sedum authority "Ray Stephenson" lists this plant as Sedum rupestris. (syn Petrosedum rupestris) AKA: Reflexed Stonecrop, Blue Stonecrop, Jenny's Stonecrop |
| Author's Notes | Have seen this and grown this plant for many years. Nice in small plantings. |
