Sedum acre is a plant that just loves the cooler weather.  The foliage tends to stay bright green throughout the winter and most growth will occur in the cool early spring and late autumn months.  This low growing ground cover will flower in light yellow in early summer.  Note that S. acre is not tolerant of high summer heat and cannot reliably thrive south of the Mason-Dixon Line.
