Sedum sarmentosum
Also called Runner Producing Stonecrop, Orpin Sarmenteux
In Singapore: Star Sedum, Stringy Stonecrop, Trailing Stonecrop, Yellow Moss, Gold Moss, Graveyard Moss, 垂盆草 (Grown in Singapore)
Stringy stonecrop is a low-growing, evergreen succulent groundcover with trailing stems and small yellow summer flowers. It thrives with full sun and very well-drained soil, and it is drought tolerant.
Sedum sarmentosum, known as stringy stonecrop, gold moss stonecrop, and graveyard moss, is a perennial flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae native to East Asia (China and Korea) and Southeast Asia (Thailand). It has been introduced in at least eastern North America, and Europe.
Sedum sarmentosum is cultivated as a perennial groundcover in temperate climates. Like most succulents, it is tolerant of drought and full sun conditions. It was commonly planted at graves, where it may persist for decades. In China, it is often cultivated as a trailing plant, hence the name chuípéncǎo (垂盆草) which means "herb that trails down the flowerpot".
In Korea, the plant is called dolnamul (돌나물) and is eaten fresh as a namul vegetable. The spicy, sweet, and tangy sauce typically served with dolnamul can be made by mixing gochujang, vinegar (or lemon juice), sugar (or plum syrup), minced garlic, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds. Dolnamul is also a common ingredient in bibimbap, as well as Korean-style western food such as dolnamul and roasted fruit salad with yuja dressing.
