SEDUM makinoi ‘Ogon’

SEDUM makinoi ‘Ogon’

Japanese Golden Woodland Sedum

This wonderful semi-deciduous (the pessimistic version of semi-evergreen) groundcover to 18″ wide in 2 years, hails from the southern Japan provinces of Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku where it can be found in moist, shady, rocky areas…not your typical sedum habitat.

Ogon sedum is a great choice  and one of it’s attributes displays bright gold chartreuse  foliage .

Ogon Sedum produces yellow flowers in midsummer but are very much unnoticeable against the golden foliage.

Prefers afternoon shade in hot climates.

Hardy in Zone: 7b-9, Grows at least 4″ tall

Origin: Japan

This type of sedum appears to be a beauty and will add to other  plants that love the same conditions.

Happy Gardening

🙂
