I love this plant. It is spreading but not invasive at all. Does great in hanging baskets, pots or in the ground. Older leaves darker green, new growth almost a chartreuse.

This is a tiny sedum, with a beautiful flower, but you must look closely! One book called it invasive, but it's on year 5 in my garden and hasn't quite filled a 5" x 5" space. The foliage is red-tipped most of the time.
