Lustrous, semi-evergreen, low, spreading carpets of red-orange foliage with crimson flowers in early to midsummer. Spreads rapdly, but is not invasive; wherever its lax stems touch the soil, they put down roots. Prefers full sun in well-drained soil, but not the best sedum in hot, humid locations.
Indoors or in greenhouse, grow tender species in a mix of 3 parts soil-based potting mix, 2 parts grit, and 1 part leaf mold, in full light, with good ventilation.
In the growing season, water moderately and apply a half-strength, balanced liquid fertilizer every month.
Water sparingly in winter.
Outdoors, grow in moderately fertile, well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil in full sun.
