  • Description

  • Notes

A cultivar of moss sedum, Golden moss sedum has incredible green to gold color in spring, turning a lovely red in fall and winter. Bloom a little later than the species, with bright yellow flowers in early summer. Though sedums tolerate a little shade, this one will loss its brilliant yellow coloring if not planted in full sun. Use between pavers, along garden paths, in rock garden, or parkstrips. Grows about 3 inches tall and 10 inches wide.
