Description

The cultivar name means “Little Evergreen” in German. This is a robust, beautiful plant with green to reddish foliage with a profusion of bright gold, pollinator-attracting flowers in the summer. In autumn, the leaves turn bright red-orange with lime and yellow tones, creating one of the best cold-weather displays, with foliage persisting through the winter. A very adaptable plant, this species spreads quickly to create a mat, but is somewhat slower-growing than the similar Sedum kamtschaticum. ‘Immergrunchen’ will also tolerate some shade, making it a very versatile green roof plant.
