Sedum Species, Gold Moss Sedum, Golden Carpet Stonecrop

Planted several pots of "mixed stonecrop" last year. This year found out this Gold Moss Sedum obviously is the most invasive one. It ju...Read Morest took out all the space it could take and left no much room for other sedum to develop. It took me many hours to pull several buckets of this plant out. I know it will be a long term battle as those little needles that I dropped everywhere by accident will eventually grow into many other big ones.
If you just want to use it to cover a large area without worrying about watering them. I think it will do its job. But if you try to confine them in a small place, you need to spend a lot of time pulling unwanted ones.

This was in my yard when I moved in four years ago. It is still there and very invasive. I've tired digging and pulling. If a tiny bit...Read More drops it takes root and quickly spreads. I would really like to have it gone.

It gets mowed over, weed whacked - and always grows back, and then some. Two years ago, I took some up to Wisconsin, where i have dappled shade and sandy soil. It does grow, but does not do as well as full sun.

Otherwise they are nice for alpine gardens and container gardens in zone 3b to 7 (I don't think zone 2 to 3a is good because of less plant competition and more exposed rocky areas as this may increase it invasiveness) is when it is a struggle to grow other alpine plants like too much water, shade, hot sun, very cold winters, etc.

This plant is terribly invasive, cold hardy, and impossible to control even in Zone 2b! There is no organic control for it. DO NOT PLAN...Read MoreT IT OR SHARE IT WITH NEIGHBOURS! It quicky becomes a weed even here in central and northern British Columbia (on the semi-arid, thin, sandy soil of mountain plateaus) where it has spread from a single source in town (15 years ago) to the point where you see it everywhere now. Roundup (glycosphate) does not kill it. In the high altitude, cool climate here of sub-alpine and montane forest it invades lawns, gardens, and roadsides. It has even migrated onto remote, high basaltic (volcanic) rock outcroppings in Wells Gray Provincial Park near Clearwater. It may prove to be as invalsive as knapweed! I have tried turning the soil to bury it, but even this will not kill it because of the plants vigorous, extensive, fragile root system.

The stems that break off will re-root and grow into new plants were ever they lay on the soil. The tiny, bright-yellow flowers are extra bonus for such a tough and hardy plant.
