The invasive succulent Sedum acre (biting stonecrop, bird's bread, common stonecrop, country pepper, creeping Jack, gold dust, golden moss, Jack of the buttery, love and tangle, tangle tail, wall moss, wall pepper, creeping Charlie) can be useful for green roofing. It naturally produces a mat able to withstand drought and full sun, here water stress has caused a reddish colouring to the fleshy leaves. Yellow, star shaped flowers are produced from May to July and the nectar is popular with bees.
