Goldmoss Sedum (Sedum acre) - Description
This little Sedum is extremely hardy and big on personality, based upon having one of the most unique common names out there. 'Welcome Home Husband Though Never so Drunk' is the name that graces this low growing, ground cover wonder. Fantastically hardy and quick to cover open ground, you do have to be a little careful with this Sedum as it can quickly get out of control on you if your garden has tight confines. Let its bright yellow mid spring bloom light up your rock garden or edging of your planting borders. Also a great walkable as it will fill the spaces between flagstone, or even use to plug small holes in a rock retaining wall for some vertical color!
