Common Name: Kamschatka, Orange Stonecrop
Full Sun to Part Shade
Zone: 3-9
Height: 4-6"

*One of my favorites for roof tops! It can be divided by either divisions or cuttings. Plant the cuttings deep; they'll droop and wilt at first, but keep them moist and they'll perk up and look great in about a week.

Sedum sarmentosum
Common name: Graveyard Moss
Full Sun to Partial Shade
Zone: 3-8
Height: 2-4 inches--trails up to 8 inches
Flowers: Bright yellow...May-June
*I thought this plant was annoyingly invasive until I started making the living roofs, now it's my one of my favorites! Fast growing-spreads rapidly-roots easily. After it blooms in spring the stems with the flowers somewhat die back, but don't think it's dead! It will revive and look great within a few weeks.

Three-leaved stonecrop (also commonly called whorled stonecrop) is a small, spreading, Missouri native perennial which typically occurs in damp, shady locations. I actually purchased this sedum at a native plant sale only to find it later growing wild on my property!
One of the only sedums for shade!!
