  • Question

    This plant was also spotted along the road in central Maine and it looks like a sedum? We think it is Witches’ moneybags? Not sure! Maybe you can help!

    Answer

    Dear MaineMimi, as currently defined, there are no species of Sedum with flat, toothed leaves. This is, likely, a member of the genus Hylotelephium (common name: orpine). Hylotelephium telephium is one of the most common, naturalized members of this family in ME. I hope this is helpful.
