Gold Moss (Sedum sarmentosum) (Bunge): One of the most widespread of the Asian stonecrops. Gold Moss spreads and trails quickly on long, thin stems. It has bright green, lanceolate leaves that stand upright. Take care where you plant this rapid grower as it's been known to spread over 3.0' wide. easily pulls up if it grows to big to suit you. It blooms in summer with yellow, star-shaped blossoms. Hardy Sedum are easy, frost-hardy plants that thrive outdoors with full sun but can survive in shady areas too. Fall and spring are great time to toss these in the garden. Although i have had great success in warm winters and summers as well It is the most unusal plant I have ever grown. It has very little root; and stems, leaves and pieces will grow - often if simply dropped on the ground- as has happened many many times in my garden, It is called stone crop because it has been known to literally often grow on stone. My gold moss sedum population came from specimens that were growing on a corner of a parking lot that had 1/8-1/4 inch of sediment over top of blacktop and was thriving. I gathered it, and put it in a garbage bag, where it stayed for several days - and at least 90 percent of it had no root at all. I simply lightly watered my soil, roughed it up with a rake, dropped the stems and gently pushed them against the soil, and it grew into a thriving beautiful mat. When coming out of dormancy in late winter/early spring it is less leggy, so it is harder to send longer "stems", so I include extra pieces at that time of year as they are smaller this time of year. Even pieces of stem with no "leaves" will rebound and grow. Color is less vibrant as well in winter/early spring, but is brilliant in full sun in later spring/summer While it may seem fragile in that the pieces may fall apart in transport or handling, it is the hardiest plant I have ever grown. I have kept mine lightly watered until established, and when established it can handle drought to slightly damp conditions easily. It is in many places in my garden by accident when I have been thinning it and accidenty drop a stem piece here or there..... that is how easily it grows. And the foliage to root volume ratio of this plant is usually about 100 to 1-2. There is very little root, even when well established. A truly stunning, very low maintenance plant. Chartreuse green leaves, that vary somewhat in summer/winter. Stunning phlox-like display of yellow flowers in spring or summer depending upon locale. Can grow even over rock concrete at times if conditions are right . Trails in pots and over walls. great for edging and front borders. I have this edging my driveway and it is just beautiful. The only care I have to do is pull it back from the conrete when it grows too far over. May not bloom first year as it adjusts to new living situation, but sometimes doesevergreen, although not as lush in winter, more sparse and leggy looking in winter.Ornamental FeaturesGolden Moss Stonecrop is covered in stunning gold star-shaped flowers at the ends of the stems from early to mid summer.
