Sedum makinoi ‘Ogon’ is a charming, low-growing succulent with vibrant golden foliage. It is a wonderful addition to rock gardens, containers, and mixed borders, adding a touch of brightness and texture.

• Foliage: The standout feature is its tiny, rounded, bright golden-yellow leaves. The foliage forms a dense mat that creates a beautiful contrast with other plants and adds a cheerful touch to the garden. The color can intensify to a richer gold or even orange in response to bright light and drought.
• Flowers: In late summer, it produces clusters of small, star-shaped, yellow-green flowers that rise above the foliage. The flowers add a delicate touch and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.
• Growth Habit: It is a ground-hugging, mat-forming succulent that typically reaches 2-3 inches tall and spreads 8-12 inches wide. It spreads slowly, making it a well-behaved groundcover.
• Hardiness: It is hardy in USDA zones 6-9, tolerating a range of temperatures and conditions. In colder zones, it can be grown as an annual or overwintered indoors.
• Low Maintenance: Once established, it is very low-maintenance and drought-tolerant.

Growing Conditions:

• Sunlight: It thrives in full sun to partial shade. In hot summer climates, some afternoon shade can be beneficial to prevent the foliage from scorching.
• Soil: It prefers well-drained soil and tolerates poor, sandy, or rocky soils. It dislikes wet or poorly drained conditions.
• Moisture: It is drought-tolerant once established and prefers infrequent watering. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings.

Uses in the Landscape:

• Rock Gardens: Its drought tolerance and bright foliage make it a perfect fit for rock gardens.
• Containers: It thrives in containers, adding texture and interest to patios and decks.
• Groundcover: When planted en masse, it can function as a colorful and textural groundcover.
• Borders and Edging: It provides a lovely contrast to other plants in borders and edges.

Additional Tips:

• Pruning: It can be pruned lightly to maintain its shape or control its spread.
• Propagation: It is easy to propagate by division or stem cuttings.
