Sedum 'Goldmound'

Common Name:
Goldmoss Stonecrop / Sedum 'Goldmound'

Description:
Sedum 'Goldmound' is a vibrant, mat-forming succulent ground cover known for its striking chartreuse to golden-yellow foliage. This low-growing perennial offers year-round interest, with its colour intensifying in full sun and turning slightly greenish in lower light conditions. In late spring to early summer, it produces small, star-like yellow flowers that enhance its cheerful appearance. Ideal for dry, well-drained soils, Sedum 'Goldmound' thrives in rock gardens, borders, containers, and as a living mulch in garden beds. It is drought-tolerant once established and particularly well-suited to Melbourne's climate, where it can handle hot summers and cool winters with ease. Its spreading habit remains tidy, making it a low-maintenance solution for adding brightness to the garden.
