Succulent perennial herb with fleshy, flat or rounded leaves; flowers 4-5-parted, yellow, white, or red. This plant may be found in forests or other natural areas as a native plant. It is also used as a houseplant, interiorscape or in the landscape as a herbaceous perennial. It causes low toxicity if eaten. However, the stems and leaves, when very young and tender, may be eaten raw. Later, until they flower, they may be briefly cooked.
