Two Row Stonecrop (Sedum spurium) - Interesting facts

Additionally, these plants are known for their succulent leaves, which are primarily used for water storage. The succulent leaves provide better fire hazard protection because a Stonecrop covered rooftop has such a high concentration of water compared to grass covered roofs.
