Notes
'Aureum' biting stonecrop (Sedum acre 'Aureum') is a succulent for rock gardens, containers, ground cover, and borders. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It creeps along the ground and grows quickly, spreading up to 12 inches. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The evergreen leaves tolerate drought and salt, and bees and butterflies visit the plant.
Pairs well with Black Scallop bugle, Fire Chief coral bells, and Lanceleaf coreopsis.
