Regarded as one of the best sedums, Sedum kamtschaticum var. floriferum ‘Weihenstephaner Gold’ (Orange Stonecrop) is a low growing, mat-forming, semi-evergreen perennial with fleshy, dark green, spoon-shaped leaves delicately tinged with bronze. Borne in the leaf axils and at the tips of leafy, red stems, clusters of small, golden-yellow, starry flowers appear in summer. As the flowers fade, the seedheads develop reddish-pink tones, creating a terrific bicolor effect. The leaves turn beet-red to purple in fall. ‘Weihenstephaner Gold’ spreads slowly by short underground rhizomes, and can be used to create rivers of color in flower beds or as a cheerful groundcover. It is also wonderful on greenroofs and in containers.
