Sedum Frosty Morn, commonly known as ‘Stonecrop’ is a cultivar of Sedum Telephium, a popular species of succulent perennial plants. It is known for its attractive foliage and colourful flowers, which make it a great addition to rock gardens, borders, and containers.

This Sedum has a compact growth habit, typically reaching a height and spread of 50 cm. The plant produces rounded, fleshy leaves that are green with a white edge or margin.
