Poplar-Leaved Stonecrop, Showy Stonecrop, Anacampseros populifolia, Hylotelephium populifolium
An unusual stonecrop, Sedum populifolium (Showy Stonecrop) is a small deciduous succulent shrub with cinnamon brown stems and heart-shaped, toothed, green leaves adorned with wavy edges. Blooming in late summer and early fall, clusters of small, scented, star-shaped white flowers with pink carpels are borne above the foliage. Native to Siberia, Showy Stonecrop has a strongly clumping habit. Resilient and long-lived, it can be used in troughs or in rock gardens. It also makes a wonderful container plant, by itself or in combination.
