Sedum bourgaei, commonly known as Bourgae’s Stonecrop, is a succulent perennial herb native to rocky outcrops and stone walls in Mexico. It exhibits a moderate growth rate, typically reaching 0.5-1.5 feet (0.15-0.5 meters) in height and spreading 1-1.5 feet (0.3-0.5 meters) wide. Bourgae’s Stonecrop forms clumps of fleshy, green leaves and produces clusters of star-shaped yellow flowers in the summer, which are moderately showy and attract pollinators.

This plant is valued for its drought tolerance and ease of maintenance, making it a popular choice for rock gardens, green roofs, and as ground cover in xeriscaped areas. It is also suitable for container gardening due to its compact size. Bourgae’s Stonecrop thrives in full sun to part shade and requires well-drained sandy or loamy soil. It is highly adaptable to poor soils and can tolerate drought once established, requiring minimal watering. While generally pest-free, it can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered or planted in poorly drained soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
