This sedum was sold as Sedum 'Fine Gold Leaf'. I have it growing about 2 feet away from Sedum 'Gold Digger'. I thought when I got them they looked like the same plant. They still look like the same plant to me.

The name of S. 'Fine Gold Leaf' photos on the web show it as looking identical to Sedum hispanicum 'Aureum' and Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo Sun', which also look to be the same plant, just different names.

Wow that's a beautiful sedum! I really like how the leaves spiral and the color is amazing.

It really is a beauty Cameron, and very tough. At least for me in the PNW.

Is it a fast grower? It's definitely a beauty.

I would say about medium growth rate. I am not really sure because mine is planted in a hole in a cement block. It might fill in quite quickly in say two years, if you put cuttings space about 4 inches apart for the area you want covered. It seems the first year is spent making roots.

Thanks for that tip Lynn. I'd like to grow some sedums in concrete blocks.

So far every seum I have planted in the concrete blocks has done well. Knocking on wood.

I just have to find a spot for a few concrete blocks.

Oh that is easy to do Camerson. Take out part of the lawn. Actually you don't need to take the lawn out, just lay cardboard, put a piece of hardware cloth and start stacking the blocks and fill with diret.

Wow that sounds easy enough. I added another garden project this Spring.

Don't forget to take photos of the process. We love seeing projects in the making.

Ok I definitely will.

Lynn yes your sedum isn't 'Fine gold leaf' but it does look like a rupestra similar to Angelina, of which there are several like 'Sea Gold' and several other names I've seen, and maybe they have slight differences in coloration but are basically Angelina (just my opinion) Or are the stems and leaves smaller than on Angelina?
Cameron, hooray for a new project!

Greg, if you look closely you will see that leaves are arranged very much like Sedum sexangular. It is definitely not a rupestre type.
I sure can get confusing though with all the names being incorrect.

I want a cutting when I visit, if possible Lynn!!

Here is my mixed Sedum area

Wow your serum area looks great Greg!

Wow, Greg, that sure is some good eye candy. Our days of such green glory are still a bit away, although I know many of us are due for the warm-up this week. I'm guessing that's a nice patch of s. acre in the middle shot? You should be sure to post both as a multi-plant photo for all to enjoy.

Greg you are more than welcome to starts on that sedum. You will become quite fond of it. Your sedum beds are really coming alive.
This sedum would look wonderful in there.

Sean the wait will be more than worth it. Then we will be able to watch yours coming out of dormancy.
