This is a great little Sedum to add contrast with its brilliant gold foliage on tiny 1" prostrate plants. Note that it does requires a spot with good drainage, and hardiness has not been extensively tested, but we suspect its hardiness limit is zones 7-8. Even so, we think this is a deserving subject for trough or succulent container gardens. shipping 4"pots.
