Sedum Reflexum or Something Else? Identifying a Soft, Needle-Like Groundcover

Sedum Reflexum or Something Else? Identifying a Soft, Needle-Like Groundcover

A gardener had a plant everyone loved but someone called a weed. The green "leaf" was like an evergreen but very soft, with single roots (not a bulb).

First Expert Opinion

The expert thought it was Sedum reflexum (stonecrop), a creeping succulent for rock gardens, and suggested Google Images.

Follow-Up

The gardener said Sedum reflexum photos weren't close; leaves were like soft pine needles. The expert asked for more details: groundcover height, sun/shade, location, whether it's two interspersed plants, sap, odor, wet/dry site. They suggested pinching a piece to check for slimy sap (like aloe) and contacting local nurseries or extension agents.
