Purchased this plant for $1. Got it home, watered and fed it, put it in the sun slowly until it was in full sun part of the day. Now it has lots of new growth.
Valuable source of nectar for honey bees.
Sedum (Sedum makinoi) 'Ogon' is an extremely attractive groundcover sedum with delicate, light green to pale gold foliage. In my zone 7a garden, it does best in part shade with medium to dry soil. It spreads slowly in the garden to about 12 inches. It is a less common sedum and can be difficult to find in nurseries, but it is worth the effort to find it.
Coral Reef needs [b][u]very good[/u][/b] drainage to keep it healthy and growing well. Extremely beautiful coral color when weather turns cold. I give it a 3 for growing in the PNW because of our wet season. Will look at my rating after another season with improved mix giving it better drainage.
Found in Cape Blanco, Oregon.
This is such a versatile succulent and will grow in almost any situation. The photo from July 18, 2012 is taken of S. album growing in moss on a cement bridge.
The main succulent leaves of Sedum sarmentosum, an Asian stonecrop, are thick & roundish, but it flowers mainly on "strings" or creeping branches of thinner almost needle-like pointed leaves. The flowering stems of leaves in many cases creep away from the main plant or dangle over the edge of a container, in other cases rest on top of the rounder main leaves.

The epithet "sexangulare" means "six angled". This refers to the growth habit of this plant, with six leaves per whorl. Apparently, it is also milder in taste compared to Sedum acre.
Five stars for attractive color and hardiness.
