Sedum acre 'Aureum' (Golden Stonecrop)

Plant Description

Looking for a tough, low-growing groundcover that can take the heat and thrive in poor soil? Sedum acre 'Aureum' is your perfect plant! This Golden Stonecrop forms a dense mat of tiny succulent leaves that turn a beautiful buttery yellow in spring. It's covered in tiny golden star flowers in early summer, and is a fast grower that will soon cover a large area. Just be sure to keep it away from slower-growing alpine plants that it might smother.

Water and Light Recommendations

Watering Needs Indoors: Instead of giving your succulents gradual sips of water throughout the week, give them a good soaking, to the point where water runs out the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. Be sure to empty the water that runs into the saucer, succulents do not like to sit in water. Then let the soil dry out completely before watering again.

Watering Needs Outdoors: In the Summer water your succulents every two weeks, by soaking them and letting them dry before watering again. In the Winter water your succulents once a month.
