Kamchatka Sedum

<p>Even though the flowers are yellow and the
foliage is deep green, <em>Sedum</em> kampschaticum is commonly
known as orange stonecrop. That’s because the long-lasting yellow flowers age
to russet, and the foliage is tinged with red once the weather turns colder.
It’s native to the Kamchatka peninsula in northern China east of Siberia, as
well as mountainous areas of Japan.</p>

            <p>Like
most mat-forming sedums, it’s relatively carefree as a garden plant. All it
wants is sun and good drainage. It can take poor soil, high heat, severe cold
and drought in stride. This means it can go where many other perennials can’t –
rock gardens, steep slopes, even green roofs and living walls. And of course,
it’s a thoroughly reliable ground cover in sunny areas. </p>
