tasteless stonecrop
Sedum sexangulare
Sedum sexangulare, commonly called tasteless stonecrop, is a mat-forming evergreen succulent groundcover native to Europe and western Asia. Its cylindrical, densely packed leaves spiral around each stem in six distinctive rows, giving rise to the epithet "sexangulare" (six-angled). Unlike the related Sedum acre, its foliage lacks a peppery taste, hence the common name. From June to August it bears abundant star-shaped, bright yellow flowers that attract bees and other pollinators. Extremely cold-hardy (USDA zones 3-9) and drought-tolerant, it forms a dense, fast-spreading, moss-like mat prized for rock gardens, green roofs and erosion control.
Showy Stonecrop
Sedum spectabile
Sedum spectabile, commonly known as Showy Stonecrop or Ice Plant, is a hardy succulent perennial native to China and Korea. It produces clusters of star-shaped pink to red flowers from late summer through fall, making it one of the most ornamental sedums available. The fleshy blue-green leaves store water, enabling the plant to tolerate drought conditions with ease. It is particularly valued as a pollinator magnet, attracting butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects when little else is in bloom.
Two-row Stonecrop
Sedum spurium
Sedum spurium (now botanically accepted as Phedimus spurius) is a low-growing, mat-forming succulent perennial in the Crassulaceae family, native to the rocky subalpine meadows of the Caucasus region (Georgia, northern Iran, and northeastern Turkey). Its trailing stems root as they spread, forming dense, evergreen mats of fleshy, opposite leaves that shift from green to deep burgundy in cooler months. Star-shaped flowers ranging from white to crimson appear in summer. Extremely drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, it is one of the most popular ground-cover sedums for rock gardens, green roofs, and sunny borders.
Chinese Stonecrop
Sedum tetractinum
Sedum tetractinum is a low-growing, mat-forming succulent native to southeastern China, prized as a groundcover for its round, fleshy blue-green leaves that blush coppery-pink in strong sun. Small star-shaped white to pale pink flowers appear in summer above the dense foliage mat.
Resurrection plant
Selaginella lepidophylla
Selaginella lepidophylla is an extraordinary desert plant of the Selaginellaceae family, native to the Chihuahuan Desert region spanning the United States and Mexico. This small, fern-like plant reaches a maximum height of just 5 cm, featuring delicate green stems covered with tiny scale-like leaves arranged in spirals. The most remarkable characteristic of this resurrection plant is its extreme desiccation tolerance - it can lose up to 95% of its water content and remain dormant for years, reviving completely when exposed to moisture. During drought periods, the stems curl tightly into a compact grey-brown sphere; upon rehydration, the plant unfurls its fronds within hours, returning to vibrant green life. Multiple common names reflect its unique survival mechanism: Resurrection Plant, False Rose of Jericho, Stone Flower, and Dinosaur Plant. Unlike true ferns, it reproduces via spores rather than seeds. This ancient plant has captured human imagination for centuries as a living demonstration of nature's remarkable adaptability.
Night-blooming Cereus
Selenicereus
Selenicereus is a genus of epiphytic and climbing cacti native to Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and northern South America. Its flattened or angled stems climb trees and rocks using aerial roots, producing enormous, intensely fragrant flowers that bloom for a single night before wilting by dawn. Several species in the genus produce the fruit known as pitaya or dragon fruit.
Ric Rac Cactus
Selenicereus anthonyanus
The ric rac cactus (Selenicereus anthonyanus) is an epiphytic jungle cactus native to the tropical forests of Chiapas, Mexico. Its flattened, deeply lobed stems zigzag like a fish skeleton -- earning it the nickname "fishbone cactus" -- making it a striking trailing or climbing houseplant. Unlike desert cacti, it thrives in humid, shaded conditions and produces large, fragrant flowers that open for a single night.
Strawberry Pear
Selenicereus triangularis
Selenicereus triangularis, commonly known as Strawberry Pear or Triangle Cactus, is a vigorous climbing cactus native to the Caribbean islands including Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. Its triangular stems can reach over 10 meters in length and produce spectacular large white flowers that bloom only at night during summer and fall. The edible red fruits, 2–5 cm long, are sweet, vitamin-rich, and resemble dragonfruit.
Dragon Fruit
Selenicereus undatus
Selenicereus undatus, popularly known as White Pitaya or Dragon Fruit, is a fast-growing epiphytic cactus native to Central and South America. It is characterized by its triangular, succulent stems that climb trees or supports. Its flowers are spectacular, large, and white, opening only at night, which earns it the name 'Queen of the Night'. The fruit is oval, with vibrant pink skin and green scales, containing a sweet white pulp dotted with small edible black seeds.
Hens and Chicks
Sempervivum
Sempervivum is a genus of approximately 40 species of hardy alpine succulents in the family Crassulaceae, native to the mountains of Europe and parts of Asia. They form tight, fleshy rosettes that continuously produce offsets ("chicks") around the mother plant ("hen"), creating dense spreading mats. Exceptionally cold-hardy, they tolerate temperatures as low as -34°C (-29°F) and survive in rocky, nutrient-poor soils.
Cobweb Houseleek
Sempervivum arachnoideum
Sempervivum arachnoideum, the cobweb houseleek, is a compact alpine succulent whose tight rosettes are laced with fine white webbing, giving each cluster a spiderweb-like appearance. Native to the mountains of Europe, it is remarkably cold-hardy and spreads into dense mats via offsets ("chicks").

It produces dense clusters of fleshy, pointed leaves arranged in tight rosettes, spreading via offsets to form low-growing mats. Extremely cold-hardy, it survives temperatures down to -34°C and thrives in rocky, well-draining soils with minimal care.
Globe Houseleek
Sempervivum globiferum
Sempervivum globiferum, commonly known as Globe Houseleek or Rolling Hen and Chicks, is a charming alpine succulent native to the mountains of Central and Eastern Europe. It forms tight, globe-shaped rosettes of fleshy green leaves that often blush red under stress. Unlike most sempervivums, its offsets naturally detach and roll away to root independently — giving rise to the delightful common name "Rollers". A monocarpic plant, each rosette dies after flowering but is quickly replaced by its many chicks.
Russian Houseleek
Sempervivum ruthenicum
Sempervivum ruthenicum, the Russian houseleek, is a hardy evergreen succulent from the Crassulaceae family native to the rocky mountains and stony terrain of Eastern Europe and the Caucasus region. It forms low, mat-like rosettes of slightly hairy, pale green fleshy leaves tipped in pink, and sends up unusual yellow flower spikes in summer. Extremely drought- and cold-tolerant, it thrives on neglect in rock gardens, alpine troughs, and shallow containers.
Common Houseleek
Sempervivum tectorum
Sempervivum tectorum is a hardy, evergreen succulent forming attractive rosettes of fleshy, blue-green leaves with reddish-purple tips. Native to European mountain regions including the Alps and Pyrenees, this resilient plant has been cultivated for centuries. The name "Sempervivum" means "live forever" in Latin, referring to its ability to produce numerous offsets. The species name "tectorum" means "of roofs," as Romans traditionally planted it on rooftops believing it protected buildings from lightning.
Blue moor grass
Sesleria caerulea
Blue moor grass is a low, tufted evergreen ornamental grass native to Europe, including the limestone grasslands and pavements of Great Britain and Ireland. It forms dense, neat clumps of narrow, arching leaves that are blue-green above and glossy dark green beneath, giving the plant its characteristic blue-grey cast. In spring, short purplish flower spikes rise just above the foliage, fading to a pale buff colour as they mature. A tough, low-maintenance calcicole grass, it is prized in gardens for its compact habit, year-round structure and tolerance of poor, stony, alkaline soils.
Green Foxtail
Setaria viridis
Setaria viridis, known as green foxtail or green bristlegrass, is a fast-growing annual grass native to Eurasia and now naturalized worldwide. It forms leafy tufts with slender, arching stems topped by soft, bristly, cylindrical seed heads that resemble a fox's tail. Highly adaptable, it thrives in disturbed soils, roadsides, and open fields, and is recognized by botanists as the wild ancestor of foxtail millet. Because of its short life cycle and ease of cultivation, it has also become an important model species for studying C4 photosynthesis in bioenergy grasses.
