Description

This easy-to-grow sedum species was virtually unknown in cultivation until Bleddyn and Sue Wynn-Jones brought it back from the sunny cliffs of its endemic home on Uulong Island, Korea. The 1' wide, upright clumps are composed of scalloped green leaves on arching, lax stems. In midsummer, the terminal branches are adorned with star-shaped flower clusters of bright yellow.
