These drought tolerant and pollinator attracting plants add bright foliage color, textural carpets of flowers, erosion control with their complete coverage, and hardiness.
There are many different forms; some are creeping stonecrops, known for their ability to cover the ground.
Others are taller and more robust, perfect for the border and to add impact planted in large drifts with other drought tolerant perennials in the New American landscape style.
They survive challenging and changing conditions with ease; there is very little that can set these plants back.
Stonecrop in general don't have much in the way of pests except the odd outbreak of aphids, generally taken care of without any input from you by ladybugs.
They don't need watering, except when just getting established, and they keep going as long as they are given full sun and benign neglect.
