Chiastophyllum oppositifolium is an alpine succulent, closely related to sedum but more suited to shady gardens. A clump-forming perennial, it's ideal for using to fill gaps in shady borders, where its unusual dangling yellow flowers contrast beautifully with its fleshy leaves, which change colour from mid-green to red.

Chiastophyllum oppositifolium is easy to grow and is also suitable for growing in containers, rockeries and rock walls.
