Sedum clavatum

Tiscalatengo Gorge Stonecrop (Sedum clavatum)

Endemic to the Tiscalatengo Gorge in Mexico, this charming succulent forms dense rosettes of fleshy, club-shaped, glaucous blue-green leaves covered in a delicate powdery pruina. Under strong sun or mild thermal stress, the leaf tips flush with soft pastel pink hues along sprawling or trailing stems. In late spring to early summer, it produces clusters of star-shaped white flowers with contrasting dark anthers.
