Stonecrop (likely)
Sedum (species unconfirmed)
Low, spreading mat of tiny, plump, bright green leaves on trailing stems, topped with slate chippings. Most likely a creeping sedum such as Sedum album, but not confirmed.
Very easy: loves sun and hates sitting wet. Any bit that breaks off can be pushed into gritty compost and will root.
