A mat-forming stonecrop that is native to mountain areas in central and western Europe. Sometimes called Rocky Stonecrop. It is an evergreen plant that grows to only 4” tall but spreads to 24” wide. The succulent leaves are pointed, cylindrical and light green. Leaves often acquire reddish tones in fall-winter. Star-shaped yellow flowers bloom in summer. Spreads quickly. Excellent as a groundcover, for border fronts or rock gardens, on dry slopes, in containers and hanging baskets, or draping over stone walls.
Easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates some shade, especially in Texas and similar climates. Also tolerates drought and heat. Thrives in sandy to gravelly soils of moderate to low fertility. Needs good soil drainage to perform well.
