Sedum forum

I bought this in 2018 from Mountain Crest Gardens who listed it on their website as being hardy to zone 5. I'm seeing different information here and on other websites, as well as one other site selling this plant who also lists it as hardy to zone 5. I've already planted it in my zone 5 rock garden so I'll just have to wait and see. Will update this comment next spring.

This Wild Sedum has a native range from New England & New York down into Georgia & Alabama to Arkansas to Missouri up into eastern Iowa back through Illinois and southern Michigan to NY, growing in damp rocky woods and cliffs and watercourse banks, usually in limestone based soils. It is sold by a good number of native plant nurseries. I have not seen it sold in conventional nurseries that usually sell several cultivars of Eurasian Sedums.

Has always been quick to spread in our gardens. Helps keep out the weeds.

A seedling selection from Sedum 'Andrew's Pinky'.
The new emerging spring foliage is a nice pink color. The pink fades away as the spring season progresses leaving behind a plain green color.

This plant is pretty amazing. It grows. I have a couple of colonies of this plant all from one little 2-leaved stem I had about 2 years ago. It is heat tolerant and is able to survive drought, full sun, and consistent 100-plus degree temperatures. Where I live, it flowers pretty much whenever it wants to, but mainly in the early and late spring. It attracts hover flies, butterflies, and jumping spiders. This is the sedum that they must be talking about when they say you can just throw it on some dirt and it will grow because that's what this one is capable of doing.
