Plant guide
White stonecrop
Sedum album
White stonecrop is considered non-toxic to cats. This small succulent suits sunny containers. Confirm Sedum album rather than assuming all stonecrops have the same safety assessment.
Non-toxic does not mean edible. Eating plant material can still upset your cat’s stomach.
What this guide covers: Sedum album only. Confirm the botanical label; a photograph cannot identify a visitor’s specimen.
