About
Petrosedum rupestre is a perennial succulent plant native to rocky and dry areas of Europe. In a food forest, it acts as a hardy ground cover in arid, sunny areas, protecting the soil from erosion and moisture loss. During the flowering season, its abundant yellow flowers attract bees and other beneficial insects.
