Crassulaceae > Sedum album var. ,



Sedum album or White stonecrop, is a flowering plant of the genus Sedum in the family Crassulaceae. Sedum album is able to acclimate according to the environment. The left plant below (in photo gallery), grew on top of the wall and therefore had access to less water and fewer nutrients; the right plant however grew at the bottom of the wall and therefore had greater amounts of water and nutrients. The plant at the bottom was therefore able to grow faster. The plant on top of the wall may be red due to less waterwp.
