I bought this plant at a garden fair last year. Even though I have never had much luck with any sedum, I thought I'd try this one. This spring, to my great surprise, I found it very much alive in a half barrel planter. The light green foliage is a light green which contrasts very well with the dark-leaved grass which had been in the planter. I have transplanted some of this sedum to a spot in the ground and will have to see how vigorous it is.

Found this growing in the sandy soil along a creek. Pretty care free except can't take the full sun. It dies out in those areas and seeks out the shadier area under other plants.

Grows well with benign neglect/watering in hottest windiest weather only.

Cute little groundcover. Thriving in clay soil under the fairly dense shade of a crabapple tree. Doesn't spread as rampantly as some other sedums.
