Sedum palmeri is a species of plant in the family Crassulaceae native to Mexico with persistent light green leaves, becoming marked in red during winter.[2]
The plant is about 30 cm high and 40 cm wide, and forms a rounded cushion with leaves arranged in rosettes located at the tips of stems. The abundant golden yellow flowers bloom in spring.
Sedum palmeri is often cultivated as an ornemental succulent.
