'Little Miss Sunshine' Sedum is perfect for rock gardens, combination containers, or the front of the border. iIt is prized for its incredibly dark green, glossy foliage, compact size, and tidiness in the landscape. From early to midsummer, tiny clusters of yellow flowers cover the tight mound. This perennial is tough and drought tolerant once established, so it's perfect for areas with hot, dry summers. 

Low, spreading sedums, like this one, form a solid mat of foliage which is excellent for covering slopes or can be planted as a  groundcover in sunny, dry areas. They are extremely drought tolerant and many are evergreen. These are terrific low-maintenance plants that always look their best.

Growing and Maintenance Tips

Sedums are "plant and forget" perennials. Because of their ability to store water in their thick succulent leaves they are very drought tolerant. They do well in average well drained soil in full sun to light shade. Do not add extra organic material because this will make the plants open and floppy.
