About This Plant
Stonecrop is a unique, flowering, succulent that grows in moist, but well draining soils. It's known to sprawl and creep over rocks and other landscape features, and makes a beautiful ground cover with its white, star-like blooms. It can be propogated from its leaves, and when it dies back in the winter, parts of the plant that fall off will take root and spread.
