Notes

'Goldmoss' biting stonecrop (Sedum acre 'Goldmoss') is a succulent for rock gardens, ground cover, and borders. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy soil. Tiny evergreen leaves form a fast creeping mat that tolerates drought and salt. Blooms appear in early to late summer and attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.

Pairs well with Nodding onion, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Brown-eyed Susan.
