A new small sedum with entirely delicious, needled foliage -- like a teeny conifer -- in dark green with hints of black in summer, adding in dark red brown -- think chocolate -- in cold weather. To only 6-8" tall spreading to 12-14" wide. A great groundcover for sun, well-drained soil, and occasional summer water for best appearance. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8; reported hardy in zone 7 and even colder.
