'''''Sedum acre''''', the '''Goldmoss Stonecrop''', '''Goldmoss Sedum''', '''Biting Stonecrop''' or '''Wallpepper''', is a perennial [[plant]] native to [[Europe]], but also naturalised in [[North America]]. This plant grows as a creeping [[ground cover]], often in dry sandy [[soil]], but also in the cracks of [[masonry]]. It grows well in poor soils, sand, rock gardens, and rich dirt, in a variety of light conditions. It does not thrive in dense shade with limited water. The leaves are simple, smooth-margined, and [[succulent]]. The flowers are yellow, Spring-blooming, in sprays held above the foliage. It spreads when allowed to do so, but is easily removed as it has shallow roots. It is used in [[hanging basket]]s and [[container garden]]s as a [[trailing accent]], [[border]]s, or groundcover. {{Inc| Sedum acre, Linn. (S. neglectum, Ten.). Stonecrop. Wall Pepper. Love Entangle. Fig. 3583. Perennial, glabrous, cespitose: barren sts. creeping, branched, about 2 in. long; fl.-sts. 2-3 in. high: lvs. minute, about 1/4 in. long, fleshy, ovate, crowded, gibbous at base, sessile: fls. yellow, about 1/2 in. across, in 1-sided cymes, which have 2-5 forks; sepals lf.-like; petals lanceolate. Eu., N. Afr., E. Asia, and naturalized in N. Amer. Gn. 27, p. 316.—This is the commonest native species in England and one of the commonest in cult. Thrives best in poor soil and is a good ledge-plant and is frequently used for covering rather arid spots which would otherwise be bare. The lvs. have an acrid taste. Var. album, Hort., is a white-fld. form. Var. aureum, Mast., has the lvs. and shoot-tips bright golden yellow in spring. The yellow tint is lost later in the summer, but the variety is never so robust as the green form. Excellent for spring bedding, to give a bit of color. Var. elegans, Mast., has the tips and young lvs. pale silvery. More delicate than var. aureum and not so effective. Var. hawaianum, Hort., is offered in the trade. Var. majus, Mast., is larger and more robust than the type: lvs. in 7 rows, deltoid-ovoid, scarcely auricled at base: fls. 3/4 in. across, in a 2-parted cyme, with a central sessile fl.; sepals linear-oblong. Morocco. Var. Maiveana, Hort., is said by the trade to be the same as var. hawaianum. Var. sexangulare, Hort., is offered in the trade; it probably is S. sexangulare. {{SCH}} }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> File:SedumAcre001.JPG| photo 1 File:Sedum acre20090615 63.jpg| photo 2 File:Sedum-acre.JPG| photo 3 File:Scharfer Mauerpfeffer Sedum acre 3.jpg </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
