Sedum pulchellum is a species of flowering plant in the stonecrop family known by the common names widowscross and widow's cross. It is native to calcareous areas of the South-Central and Southeastern United States and where it is found on flat rock outcrops, particularly cedar glades. Most populations are in the Interior Low Plateau, and Ozark and Ouachita Mountains.
It produces pink-white flowers in late spring. It is a winter annual, germinating in the fall and dying in the summer.
