Yellow Brick Road Stonecrop (Sedum) — Low-Growing Drought-Tolerant Succulent
Carpet Your Garden in Gold with Yellow Brick Road Stonecrop
Follow the yellow brick road — right into your garden. Yellow Brick Road Stonecrop (Sedum 'Yellow Brick Road') is a sprawling, low-growing succulent that hugs the ground with lush whorls of fleshy dark green foliage on rich red stems. From midsummer through fall, the entire plant becomes blanketed in clusters of tiny, star-shaped yellow flowers that light up borders, rock gardens, and containers alike. Once established, it practically takes care of itself — drought-tolerant, heat-hardy, and endlessly charming.
