What a nice little stonecrop – well behaved too!


This lovely greeny blue foliaged clump of rosettes will be covered in white flowers borne on 10cm (4″) stems in June.

Eventually it will form a mounding clump about 35cm (just over 1′) across, and as it grows out from the centre will fill in with new growth continuously.

Its clean and neat appearance makes it a perfect choice for containers, rock gardens and trough gardens.

Tending towards a semi deciduous growth habit, it sometimes loses leaves in the fall – but don’t worry, new growth will emerge from the many buds in the crown each spring.

There seem to be several forms of this plant, some with slightly more toothed edges on the leaves, others with lobed and smooth edges. They’re all just as cute as the next though!
