I need help I.D.-ing this plant. I bought 2 very small containers of it 7 yrs ago from a local garden club sale from my neighborhood when I 1st movvd in. It blooms little yelllow flowers in the spring, can spread very easly, used as ground cover and on bare spots. The name the lady had put on it was osmois something or other but she just called it osmosis. I have looked through different place in stores and on the net to find out what the name was and have came up with nothing. I love the plant alot and have given some of it away here and there to other people who also did. Could someone please help. Maryland
There are LOTS of sedum varieties. Yours looks similar to the one I have (mine also has yellow blossoms)---got some from a neighbor about 20 years ago and it's still going strong. I like it because it grows so enthusiastically, and just about anywhere. In fact, in summer I have to yank handfuls of it so that other plants have a space to grow! ---I have some stonecrop, too, which does well---given the success with these sedums, I 'm contemplating adding more varieties...perhaps a totally sedum garden. With the sizes and blossom colors available, it could look good! May you have continued success with yours.
Ty for replying. I am also having 2 pull out big handfuls of moving it around my gardens. I currently have a hill that is in desperate need of plants growing on it to help keep dirt in place. I have tried to put grass on it but did not grow. I have patches of the Sedum sarmentosum (Stringy Stonecrop or Star Sedum) growing on the hill. Hopefully it will take over it like it did in my garden in front of my house. I was amazed to find out that the leave are eatable and taste like green peppers. I know now what I plant around my strawberries. lol
