“Golden Sedum”
Sedum x adolphii
“Golden Sedum”
Get some bling for your succulent garden! “Golden Sedum” has little nuggets of honey-colored to chartreuse-colored leaves that develop pink highlights as they mature. More golden in the sun, this succulent is flexible enough to handle bright shade as long as it isn’t overly wet. Forms a lovely, low mat of trailing stems about 6-10” high & 1-2’ wide. Would also be really great trailing over the side of a container or low wall. Star-shaped yellow-white flowers for added charm. From Mexico, it is drought & heat resistant but also needs good drainage. Mix with other succulents like Sedum ‘Voodoo’ & Aeonium undulatum for fun textures & colors. Or mix it up with flowering plants like Bidens ‘Golden Goddess’ & Cantua ‘Golden Inca’ to really gild the garden.
