Sedum rupestre
STACKS
Talk about geometry in form. Look closely at how the leaves are "stacked" on the stems, and you will marvel at the symmetry and organization of it! Of course, that's the "micro" view. On a larger scale, this is a fantastic plant for small spaces and container succulent gardening. Its foliage is a beautiful blue color for great contrasts, and it creeps and crawls in a flat mat of 1' round no taller than a few inches. It also hangs a few inches over the edge of a pot or wall for a nice softening effect. Hardy to sub-teens. Full sun in cooler climates of coastal and mountain areas. Some shade in desert climates.

Sedum rupestre
GOLD MOSS
Soft, needle-like, alpine foliage is cheerfully yellow with green undertones. In cooler weather it takes on a beautiful, autumnal orange luster. It's soft "mossy" appearance is soothing, and feels moist, though it is a succulent plant that is not tremendously water needy. "Gold Moss" is most beautiful in succulent container gardening, contrasted against bolder "Hens and Chicks" and small Aloes. It grows in a low mat to 1' round, only a couple of inches high, spreading and cascading over edges, and filling into nooks and crannies of rock gardens. Hardy to sub- teens; full sun in cooler climates, needs some shade in desert and inland areas.
