Sedum acre

Goldmoss stonecrop is a tiny, mat-forming European succulent with bright yellow star flowers in early summer. It colonises sand, shingle, walls and dry banks where nothing else competes. It is very hardy, wants full sun and poor, sharply drained ground, and grows far better outdoors than inside.
