Sedum Kamtschaticum preserves the supplied database name for the species now accepted scientifically as Phedimus kamtschaticus. This Semi-evergreen Succulent Perennial in the Crassulaceae family forms a low Clump-former about 15-40 cm high and 30-45 cm wide.
Ascending Green stems rise from a thick branched rootstock. Fleshy Green leaves vary naturally from Oblanceolate to Spatulate or Obovate and occur alternately or oppositely, with sparse rounded-to-sharp teeth near their tips. In June and July, terminal Clusters carry small five-part Star-shaped golden-Yellow flowers. Their 6-8-mm petals frame Orange anthers. Foliage can develop Orange or Red tones as weather cools.
Grow in Full sun on a sheltered east-, south-, or west-facing site with moderately fertile Well Drained Soil. Chalk, Loam, and Sand and Neutral or Alkaline pH are documented. The plant tolerates dry soil, drought, heat, shallow rocky ground, urban conditions, and salinity, but standing water can cause crown or root rot. Space plants about 30 cm apart for ground cover.
Divide in spring, sow seed, or take non-flowering softwood cuttings in early summer. Trim after flowering or retain the botanical seedheads through winter. Thymus serpyllum ‘Elfin’, Dianthus ‘Sunflor Cody’, and Achillea millefolium ‘Terracotta’ are directly documented companions. The species suits rock, gravel, coastal, cottage, and urban gardens. All parts carry a reported low-severity ingestion risk.
