Sedum sexangulare

A low, evergreen, mat-forming stonecrop from central Europe. Its tiny cylindrical leaves are packed in six spiralling rows, and it carries yellow star flowers in June and July. Fully hardy, it grows on sandy dry grassland, rocks and old walls in full sun, and it is easy outdoors in a sunny, sharply drained spot.
