Yellow Flowering Creeping Sedum

This is one powerful ground cover plant. It came in with some Siberian Irises but is now overrunning those flowers. Its common name is Creeping Sedum or Mexican Sedum. Its scientific name is Sedum mexicanum.

The leaves remind me of a succulent but it is almost vine like. The plants have taken over a meter by 40 cm area in two growing seasons.
