The groundcover type of Stonecrop is the perfect size for growing at the front of a sunny border or for edging pathways. It forms a low, compact mound of shiny, red foliage with large medium pink flowerheads late summer through fall. Great mass planted on slopes, green roof systems or as a groundcover in other sunny areas. Excellent in containers. Flowers are attractive to bees and butterflies.
