Sedum album is a low, slow growing ground cover that is able to inhabit the most hostile of places.
The Tales:
Desperate times call for desperate measures and this sedum is able to switch between C3 carbon fixation and crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM – a particularity of the Crassulae and cactuses more generally, where gas exchanges happen only at night, allowing the plants to limit the evapotranspiration from the surface of their leaves… and store more water!)
This makes it particularly powerful as a drought-tolerant ground cover.
