EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this early 20th century photograph of Sedum Acre, also known as Biting Stonecrop, a hardy succulent plant that has graced gardens for centuries. This historical image captures the charm and beauty of this low-growing, mat-forming plant, which is native to Europe and Asia. Sedum Acre, or Stonecrop, derives its common name from its ability to thrive in harsh conditions, including rocky, alkaline soils. Its small, succulent leaves are covered in tiny hairs that give the plant a slightly bitter taste, hence the name 'Biting Stonecrop.' This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, offers a glimpse into the past and showcases the timeless appeal of Sedum Acre. The plant's vibrant, star-shaped yellow flowers, which bloom in late summer, are visible in the foreground, adding a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic scene. The image also reveals the plant's versatility, as it is shown growing in a variety of settings, from a rocky garden to a container. The Sedum Acre's history dates back to ancient times, with records of its use in traditional medicine and as a food source. Its hardiness and ability to tolerate drought and extreme temperatures made it a popular choice for gardens in both Europe and North America. Today, Sedum Acre remains a beloved plant among gardeners and is often used in rock gardens, ground covers, and container plantings. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of Sedum Acre, which continues to captivate gardeners and nature enthusiasts alike with its beauty and resilience.
