Sedum clavatum, commonly known as Tiscalatengo Gorge Sedum, is an evergreen succulent native to the rocky cliffs and alpine regions of Central Mexico. It forms compact rosettes of powdery blue-green leaves, which elongate into long, trailing stems over time. Mature plants reach a height of 4 to 6 inches and spread up to 8 inches wide. The plant is adorned with clusters of white, star-shaped flowers from mid to late spring into early summer, which are moderately showy and attract pollinators.

Sedum clavatum is valued for its drought tolerance and unique foliage, making it a popular choice for rock gardens, container plantings, and as ground cover in xeriscaped areas. It is also used in green roofs and living walls due to its low maintenance and ability to thrive in poor soil. While it is an evergreen perennial, it is often treated as an annual in colder climates. This succulent requires minimal water once established and prefers well-draining soil. It is best situated in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Although it is fairly easy to maintain, it can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered or planted in poorly draining soil. Sedum clavatum is not known for aggressive roots or significant disease problems, but mealybugs and aphids can occasionally be a concern. It is not typically invasive when grown outside its native range, but care should be taken to prevent it from escaping cultivation in favorable climates.CC BY-SA 4.0
