📌 Product Description

Sedum makinoi ‘Ogon’ is a vibrant, low-growing succulent groundcover known for its bright golden-yellow foliage. The small, rounded leaves form dense mats that cascade gently over edges and containers, creating a striking colour contrast in mixed plantings.

Unlike many blue or bronze sedums, ‘Ogon’ provides luminous chartreuse to gold tones, especially in bright light. In partial shade, the foliage remains softer lime-green.

It spreads quickly by rooting stems, making it ideal for filling gaps, softening borders, and brightening shaded succulent beds.
