Sedum Golden Moss - Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo Sun' is a low-growing succulent in the Crassulaceae family, native to Japan and parts of East Asia where it carpets rocky slopes and forest edges. It offers neon yellow foliage that seems to glow in bright light and survives drought.
The plant features tiny, plump, needle-like leaves packed tightly along trailing stems in vivid neon yellow-green. It forms a dense, low mat that cascades over pot edges.
Small, star-shaped yellow flowers emerge in late spring to summer, adding an accent above the colorful foliage. A drop in nighttime temperature encourages more flower bud formation. It wilts slightly when thirsty.
Sedum 'Tokyo Sun' works well in balcony gardens, fairy gardens, terrariums, and mixed succulent containers where its trailing habit contrasts with darker rosettes. You can leave it up to ten days without water. It is non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a safe choice for pet-owning households. Move it outdoors in summer for the most intense color, and protect it from heavy rain to prevent waterlogged soil.
