autumn stonecrop
Sedum 'Mr. Goodbud'
The autumn stonecrop (Sedum 'Mr. Goodbud') is a low-growing, groundcover perennial with distinctive, fleshy, green-gray leaves. It blooms in the late summer and fall with clusters of bright yellow flowers. This drought-tolerant variety prefers dry, well-drained soil and full sun but can tolerate some light shade. It is deer-resistant and provides nectar for butterflies and bees. It is also easy to propagate from cuttings, making it a great choice for any gardeners looking for an easy-care groundcover.
