Stringy stonecrop (Sedum sarmentosum) is an introduced perennial with edible leaves.
It can be found in sunny areas with sandy soil.
The plant can spread quickly, forming a mat on the ground. The fleshy leaves are arranged in whorls of three. Yellow star-shaped flowers are produced in the summer.
The plant is edible raw or can be turned into kimchi. It tastes like a crisp succulent, similar to other Sedums.
Stringy stonecrop is used in Chinese medicine to remove toxins and reduce swelling.
