Description Aizoon Stonecrop Seeds Sedum aizoon – A hardy, succulent perennial with bright yellow, star-shaped flower clusters Tough, drought-tolerant perennial forming a neat mound of fleshy, toothed green leaves. In late spring to midsummer it produces flat heads of tiny, brilliant yellow flowers that attract bees and butterflies. Excellent for rock gardens, green roofs, dry slopes, and border fronts. Once established, it thrives on neglect and poor soils. Common Name: Aizoon Stonecrop Latin Name: Sedum aizoon Plant Height: 20–50 cm (8–20 in) Seeds per Gram: ≈ 10,000 seeds/gram Life Cycle: Perennial (hardy zones 3–9) Available Color: Bright yellow flowers, succulent green foliage Non-GMO · Open-pollinated · Perennial succulent · Drought-tolerant groundcover Aizoon Stonecrop Common name(s)Aizoon Stonecrop, Stonecrop Latin nameSedum aizoon (syn. Phedimus aizoon) – a long-lived hardy succulent Mature height20–50 cm (8–20″) — compact, mounding succulent with upright flowering stems Seeds per gram~10,000 seeds/gram (approx. 280,000 seeds/oz); very fine, dust-like seeds Growth cyclePerennial — blooms from second year onward; forms expanding clumps over time Ornamental periodLate spring to midsummer (4–6 weeks of bright yellow blooms); foliage remains attractive all season Unique trait Extremely drought-tolerant · Fleshy, serrated leaves · Ideal for rock gardens, green roofs & dry borders �� Planting & Growing Guide �� Best planting seasonSpring after last frost, or late summer to early autumn. Can be started indoors in late winter. ��️ Ideal temperature60–70°F (15–21°C) for germination; highly adaptable once established, tolerates heat and cold ☀️ Shade requirementFull sun to light partial shade. Best flowering occurs in full sun (6 hours direct sun). Tolerates some shade, but plants may become leggy and bloom less. �� Sowing rate (per m²)0.1–0.2 gram per square meter (approx. 1,000–2,000 seeds/m²) for a dense ground-cover effect. �� Sowing depthSurface sow — do not cover seeds. Press gently into moist soil; light is required for germination. �� Water & careKeep evenly moist until germination (10–21 days). Once established, water sparingly; highly drought-tolerant. Overwatering can cause rot. �� Spacing after thinningThin or transplant to 6–12 inches (15–30 cm) apart to allow room for clumps to spread. �� Days to bloomTypically blooms in the second year from seed. Very early indoor sowing may produce a few flowers the first season. Sun requirement: Full sun gives the most compact form and heaviest bloom. In partial shade plants are looser and flower less, but still grow well. Provide light afternoon shade only in extremely hot desert climates (zones 9 ). Pro density tip: For rapid ground cover, sow 0.2 g/m² and thin to 8″ apart. Plants slowly spread via short rhizomes, filling gaps over 2–3 years. For a naturalistic rock garden look, use the lower rate. Sowing quick guide: Spring · Full sun to partial shade · 0.1–0.2 g/m² · Surface sow, light needed Germination 60–70°F | Full sun for best flowering Trim spent flower stems after blooming to keep plants tidy. Foliage may develop reddish-bronze tones in autumn. Deer resistant · Perfect for rock gardens, dry slopes, borders, and green roofs.
