Sedum adolphii

 
 
Sedum adolphii, commonly known as Golden Sedum or Coppertone Sedum, is a vibrant succulent that is highly regarded for its striking appearance and ease of care. This plant features fleshy, paddle-shaped leaves that are typically a bright golden yellow to copper color. The leaves can develop a reddish or orange tint, especially when exposed to full sunlight or during periods of stress, creating a beautiful contrast in the garden.
 
This makes it an excellent choice for ground cover, rock gardens, or container arrangements. In summer, it produces clusters of small, star-shaped yellow flowers that attract pollinators and add an extra burst of color to its already vibrant foliage.
 
Sedum adolphii thrives in bright, direct sunlight and well-draining soil, making it ideal for xeriscaping and low-water gardens. It is drought-tolerant and should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Overall, this succulent is not only beautiful but also a low-maintenance option for both novice and experienced gardeners.
