Succulent plant bearing a corymb of small yellow flowers in early June here in zone 3. Bluish-green foliage is the ornamental value of this plant, should be used in a similar manner to the Sedums.

Jelitto and Schacht write that this plant requires "a semi-dry site among stones", which we provided by growing it on a slope in our rock garden.

My plant names dictionary says this plant derives its species name 'rosea' from its rose-scented roots?!

Rated hardy to zone 1.

Height 8", width 12".

Glen's score: 7.

Synonyms:  Sedum rosea, Sedum rhodiola.

Thanks to our friend Grace for giving us this plant.
