Golden Moss 'Aureum', Gold Wall Pepper, Aureum Golden Stonecrop, Sedum acre 'Aurea'
Very hardy and drought tolerant, Sedum acre ‘Aureum’ (Gold Moss) is a low growing, mat-forming, evergreen succulent perennial with tangled stems clothed with conical, green leaves tipped with bright golden yellow. Small clusters of tiny, star-shaped, golden yellow flowers, adorned with protruding stamens, bloom just above the foliage during the summer. The plant keeps a striking golden appearance for up to two months. Vigorous, Gold Moss stonecrop can be used to create a cheerful groundcover. It is also wonderful spilling over rock walls and cascading from containers. Terrific for sunny areas with poor dry soil.
