Sedum ternatum

Commonly known as Woodland Stonecrop, Three-leaved Stonecrop, Wild Stonecrop, and Whorled Stonecrop.

A small, spreading, evergreen perennial which typically occurs in damp locations along stream banks, bluff bases and stony ledges (as in stonecrop). Grows 3-6" high and spreads by creeping stems which root at the nodes. Stems break away and die in winter, leaving newly rooted plants separated from the mother plant. Features small, rounded, fleshy, succulent-like leaves which appear in whorls of three. Clusters of tiny white, star-like flowers with purplish stamens appear on erect stems above the foliage in spring.

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade (prefers shade in Texas). Tolerates shade and moist soils better than most other sedums.
