Notes

'Ogon' sedum (Sedum makinoi 'Ogon') is a groundcover for rock gardens, containers, and borders. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average soil of most types. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It stays under 3 inches tall and creeps to form a low, evergreen mat. Bees and birds come to it, and it tolerates drought.

Pairs well with Ice plant, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Garlic chives, and Pink.
