Sedum palmeri

Summary

UC Davis is located in Davis, California, this site has a silty clay loam soil and plants are irrigated with potable water. More information about the field sites is located in the Nuts & Bolts section.

A tidy, low-growing succulent with small leaves and tiny, star-shaped yellow flowers in spring, this plant did not survive the heavy soils of our trial grounds and was not a success in the majority of the UC Master Gardener demonstration gardens where it was planted. It did not survive the cold of either Mariposa or Nevada County, and all recommended slopes, raised beds, pots, or very freely draining soil with partial shade.
