Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo Sun' [large]

'Tokyo Sun' (Sedum japonicum) (Siebold ex Miquel): A mat-forming ground cover Sedum that pops bright yellow. It is only hardy to about 10F () but it is an eye-catching accent in pots that can overwinter indoors.

The yellow tones need direct sun to stay vibrant and will fade to green if shaded. 'Tokyo Sun' stays under 3.0" tall but spreads and mounds extensively on well-draining soil. Mature Sedum with established roots can tolerate at least a month of drought.

In the summer, large quantities of golden, star-shaped flowers emerge. They add depth to this colorful grower and even attract pollinators.
