Chiastophyllum oppositifolium

Height: 15-20 cm

Width: 25-30 cm

Zone: 5

Exposure: Part shade to shade

Bloom time: Late Spring to early Summer

A little-known cousin to Sedum, this is a little gem, best suited to shady gardens. Plants form a low mound of thick, succulent green leaves, bearing upright stems with dangling chains of bright yellow flowers in late spring and early summer. Ideal for edging in the shade border, in rock walls, or between flagstones. Adapts well to growing in tubs or mixed containers. Easy and unique. A well-behaved plant, with no inclination to become invasive. Easily divided in spring or early fall. Evergreen in mild winter regions.
