Sedum acre, commonly known as sedum acre gold moss, mossy stonecrop, goldmoss sedum, biting stonecrop, or wallpepper, is a perennial plant native to Europe, but also naturalized in North America. It's part of the Crassulaceae family, known for their succulent leaves.
Here are some key characteristics of Sedum acre flowers:
Appearance: The flowers of Sedum acre are small and star-shaped, typically with five petals.
Color: They are usually bright yellow, making them quite conspicuous against the green foliage.
Blooming Season: The plant flowers in the late spring and early summer.
Size: Each individual flower is relatively small, but they often appear in clusters, which can create a carpet-like effect.
Attractiveness to Wildlife: Like many sedums, the flowers are attractive to bees and other pollinators.
Growth Habit: Sedum acre is a low-growing, mat-forming succulent, often used in rock gardens, as ground cover, or in green roofs due to its hardy and drought-tolerant nature.
Remember, while Sedum acre is admired for its ornamental qualities and hardiness, it's considered invasive in some areas, so it's important to plant it responsibly.
