Plant Profile: Sedum ternatum

Plant space should be between 6 to 12 inches. The stems spread across the ground or climb over rocks, creating thick mats.

While this plant is deemed toxic, the young and tender stems and leaves can be consumed raw. Before flowering, they can also be lightly cooked.

Preferred habitats include damp forests, sheltered coves, low-lying areas, and shaded rocky outcrops.
