Sedum

Recently I found a sizable patch of Sedum growing along the side of the road ,not sure of the cultivar but fairly tall would this be a native plant of something seeded in?

Hi,

Yes, there are some native Sedum in North America, though they also can self-sow easily. If there was a garden nearby or even an older farmhouse then it might be possible for it to have been introduced, but if it is just in a field somewhere then could be native. There are several species native to the US.

Thanks Chris!

Here's a great resource for new england wildflowers: http://www.ct-botanical-society.org/gal ... index.html

They don't list any sedum species, which may mean you've found something that has naturalized.

Sometimes it is listed under the genus Hylotelephium.
