Stenopetalum Sedum is upright or creeping up kind of stonecrop, with spirally arranged leaves, its conical shape resembling a miniature spruce. This species is viviparous. Leaves in clusters, which dries after flowering, are separated and the impact of creating new plants, thus ensuring vegetative reproduction.

Sedum stenopetalum growing on adjacent upland plains at altitudes up to 3000 m, on rock or suťovištích windows in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, California, Washington and Oregon. These areas are exceptionally dry period in late summer and is therefore adapted for vegetative reproduction. The flowering stem in the axils of leaves arise propagule, small succulent rosettes which spontaneously separate and when they hit the ground roots. Mother plant then dries after flowering.
Stenopetalum Sedum is a very interesting species, which in some forms is not very rich flowering, but in summer it is attractive because of its red-colored leaves. Here he's doing in sunny locations with well drained, gravelly soil on the surface.

Sedum stenopetalum often mistaken for Sedum lanceolatum, which has clear, green leaves tinged with red, with no sharp points.
