You cannot help but admire the golden foliage of the Golden Japanese Sedum. Botanically known as Sedum makinoi 'Ogon', this stonecrop produces tiny golden leaves that form a thick, low-growing mat. Growing 2 to 4 inches tall, the Golden Japanese Sedum is easy to grow and suitable for a variety of planting uses.

The Golden Japanese Sedum tends to grow disease and pest-free, and once established, is even drought and heat tolerant. Furthermore, even rabbits and deer generally leave this stonecrop alone. Sedum is perfect for adding some color to a rock garden, hellstrip, or dry slope. Being small, it can even be planted into a rocky wall or grown in a container. 

Golden Japanese Sedum Care

The Golden Japanese Sedum grows best in either full sun or partial shade. It requires free-draining soil as it will not tolerate its roots sitting in water; it will even grow in a rocky or sandy substrate. As a succulent, it does not need regular moisture so it is best to allow the soil to dry out between watering. Fertilization is generally not required.

Pruning is not usually required. However, any leggy stems can be pinched back to encourage new growth. In colder areas, you can pot up this sedum to overwinter indoors. 

Golden Japanese Sedum Spacing

When mature, the Golden Japanese Sedum can reach a height and spread of 4 inches by 10 inches. If growing to form ground cover, you can plant Golden Japanese Sedum at a spacing of around 6 to 8 inches apart.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
