Overview

The Green Apple Snap, or Sedum praealtum, is an evergreen perennial succulent standing out with its apple-green, waxy leaves and clusters of bright yellow star-shaped flowers in late winter to early spring. This hardy plant thrives in USDA zones 8-11 and reaches up to 2-3 feet tall, with a similar spread. It requires well-drained soil, full to partial sun exposure, and minimal water, making it an excellent, low-maintenance choice for xeriscaping or rock gardens.
