• Leaves: The leaves are small, fleshy, and cylindrical, displaying a green to reddish hue depending on the plant’s exposure to sunlight.
• Flowers: Sedum album produces star-shaped, white or pinkish flowers that bloom in summer. The flowers are arranged in clusters, creating a stunning contrast against the foliage.
