Yellow flowers appear in the spring to summer. Leaves are green, but will turn orange in full sun.

This Sedum is often confused with Sedum kimnachii. According to Sedumzz, "Kimnachi tends to stay smaller than confusum and leaves tend to stay more compacted than confusum."

This plant is pretty amazing. It grows. I have a couple of colonies of this plant all from one little 2-leaved stem I had about 2 years ago. It is heat tolerant and is able to survive drought, full sun, and consistent 100-plus degree temperatures. Where I live, it flowers pretty much whenever it wants to, but mainly in the early and late spring. It attracts hover flies, butterflies, and jumping spiders. This is the sedum that they must be talking about when they say you can just throw it on some dirt and it will grow because that's what this one is capable of doing.
