If that sedum is the ordinary one, need to go out to the garden (ouch) in the 
90 degrees so will guess, it is a full sun plant.  It is water that it does 
not need.  There are a bunch of them around here and while not wildy 
multiplying are easy to grow.  That plant can take full unshaded sun in a 
pile of gravel. Speaking here, of course, in the Northeast.
If you find a rare all green shoot remove it.  It is a very good trough plant 
along with and interlaced with a  wide leafed portulace which will bloom pink 
and pick up the variagated color.  Not exactly an alpine application but very 
nice.  Both are easy to buy in a good nursery.
