Yellow Flowering Stonecrop - Pollinator Groundcover - Weed Suppressor

Spring 2027 preorder. Ships bare-root. Local delivery plants will be potted.

You will receive a rooted division from our established yellow-flowering stonecrop.

This low-growing succulent perennial forms a spreading mat of bright green, fleshy foliage and produces clusters of cheerful yellow, star-shaped flowers in summer.

Our plant appears consistent with Kamschatka/Russian stonecrop (Phedimus kamtschaticus, formerly Sedum kamtschaticum), but because the original plant did not come to us with a verifiable cultivar or species label, we are selling it simply as Yellow Flowering Stonecrop.

 Why We Grow It

• Bright yellow star-shaped flowers
• Low-growing flowering groundcover
• Attractive succulent foliage
• Provides flowers for pollinators
• Excellent for dry, sunny locations
• Very drought tolerant once established
• Useful in rock gardens, borders, slopes and between larger perennials
• Spreads to form a low mat
• Low maintenance
• Proven hardy in our Upper Peninsula garden
• Stonecrops are particularly useful in places where many other flowering plants struggle because of heat, dry soil or shallow growing conditions.

A Groundcover for Dry Places

This is a good choice when you need something low, spreading and tolerant of dry conditions.

Stonecrop Sedum is a spreading ground cover that needs the same growing conditions as lavender (hot, dry, good drainage). Planted around your plants, or elsewhere in your garden, they provide good weed suppression. 

The fleshy leaves store moisture, helping the plant handle periods of drought once established.

We like it for:

• Pollinator gardens
• Rock gardens
• Sunny bed edges
• Dry slopes
• Gravel gardens
• Around larger perennials
• Containers
• Areas where a low flowering groundcover is useful

From Our Garden

The plants shown on this page are growing at Pause Lavender Farm in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

We like this stonecrop because it adds a completely different layer to a pollinator planting. While lavender, oregano, allium and other perennials provide height, stonecrop stays close to the ground and helps fill open sunny spaces.

Its bright yellow flowers also provide a strong color contrast with purple lavender, catmint and allium.

The photos on this page show our actual plants from our garden - not stock photography.
