Sedum oreganum
Oregon Stonecrop
Shiny red tinged olive green and yellow puffy shiny leaves cover slender red upright stems.
A well behaved spreading variety, Sedum oreganum is commonly used in containers and on green roofs, and forms a well behaved tidy clump in containers and root planters.
Plant in well drained soil, with extra aggregate for drainage, and fertilize once a year during the growing season - lean soil is recommended for most Sedum, but this particular species tends to yellow without a tiny amount of nutrients - it loves lava rock mulch.
Bloom time and colour is unknown, but I am imagining that the flowers will be yellow. It doesn't seem to bloom much if at all, not necessarily a bad thing, because the flowers would overshadow the lovely lime green foliage.
