On our bluff just north of Port Orford, its silvery rosettes tumble out of cracks in the rock where almost nothing else will grow. It is one of only two truly PNW-native Sedums in our catalog (Sedum oreganum is the other), and the plant that most captures the character of the Oregon coast in miniature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTight rosettes of flat, waxy, powdery gray-silver or gray-green leaves build a 2 to 4 inch tall spreading mat. In late spring to early summer, wiry flower stalks lift small bright yellow star-shaped flowers a few inches above the foliage. Bees (honeybees and small native bees) and a range of beneficial flies work the flowers, and Sara's Orangetip butterfly is known to nectar on Sedum species in the wild.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNAEB ethnobotany records document eleven uses of Sedum spathulifolium across five Pacific Northwest Nations, including the Thompson, Okanagon, Bella Coola, Kuper Island, and Songish peoples, primarily as medicinal gynecological and dermatological aids.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFull sun to part shade.
