Red stems carry deep green, toothed leaves, a nice color contrast even when the plant is not in bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts polished, mounding shape stays about a foot tall, so it works at the front of a sunny border, in a rock garden or as a filler in mixed containers. It thrives in hot, dry spots and rabbits leave it alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlat clusters 2 to 3 inches wide of small, bright yellow, five-pointed star-shaped flowers held just above the foliage. Leaves are fleshy, deep green, oval to spoon-shaped with toothed edges, about 1 inch long, carried on reddish stems. The plant forms a neat, rounded mound 10 to 12 inches tall and 16 to 20 inches wide. At peak bloom it looks like a green dome sprinkled heavily with yellow stars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis compact sedum thrives in the same hot, sunny, well-drained ground as lavender, and its rounded succulent mounds make a neat, contrasting edge along the front of a lavender bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun in average to poor, well-drained soil; it is very drought tolerant once established and rots in soggy ground.
