Sedum dendroideum, commonly known as Tree Stonecrop or False Hens-and-Chickens, is a succulent perennial herb native to rocky outcrops and dry slopes in Mexico. It typically grows to a height and width of 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters), forming a shrub-like appearance with fleshy, evergreen leaves that turn red in winter. The plant produces clusters of star-shaped, bright yellow flowers during the winter and spring months, which are moderately showy and attract pollinators.

Tree Stonecrop is valued for its drought tolerance and unique foliage color, making it a popular choice for rock gardens, xeriscaping, and as a container plant. It thrives in full sun to part shade and requires very little water once established, preferring well-drained soils. While it is generally low-maintenance, it can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered or planted in poorly drained soils. It is also frost-sensitive and may require protection in colder climates.CC BY-SA 4.0
