Sedum ochroleucum ‘Green Ball’ is a compact, low-growing succulent in the Crassulaceae family.

It forms dense, rounded mounds of small, fleshy, bright green leaves, giving it a distinctive “ball-like” appearance.

Its foliage pairs easily with darker or lighter tones, such as Sedum 'Angelina' or Sedum pachyclados.

This variety is particularly striking with its fine, gray-green, bristly leaves that give it its distinctive spherical shape at the tips of its stems. The leaves are evergreen, remaining densely branched throughout the winter.

The fast growing, upright stems carry clusters of small, star-shaped yellow flowers in the summer

A great pick for rock gardens, dry borders, and large expanses of ground that need a bit of covering up.

This cultivar is particularly appreciated for its neat, architectural form and its ability to thrive in rock gardens, alpine gardens, containers, and as groundcover.

Floral Morphology: Sedum ochroleucum 'Green Ball'

Sedum ochroleucum 'Green Ball' produces small, star-shaped creamy-yellow flowers, arranged in dense terminal clusters.

Flowering occurs from late spring to early summer and attract bees and other pollinators, providing ecological benefits.

The leaves are spatulate to ovate, fleshy, and form tight rosettes, giving the plant a tidy, architectural look even when not in bloom.

Reproductive Biology

It propagates both vegetatively via stem cuttings and sexually via seeds.

The flowers are hermaphroditic, insect-pollinated, but vegetative propagation is preferred for maintaining uniformity in gardens.

This sedum, like the others, spreads slowly, forming dense mats over time.

Ecology & Adaptations

Drought-tolerant, storing water in succulent leaves.
Prefers well-drained, rocky or sandy soils and full sun.
Tolerates mild frost, but excessive moisture or poorly drained soils can cause rot.
Ideal for rock gardens, alpine settings, and xeriscaping, where low maintenance and compact growth are desired.
