Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Small cute ten inch mounds of lightly scalloped, dark-chocolate brown leaves make a great addition to the border or the rock-garden. Soft rose-coloured flowers top and accent the foliage in late summer. Mix with golds and bronzes for an unforgettable effect. Upright stonecrops are useful nearly year round: mounds of succulent new growth in early spring, structural upright clumps through summer, heads of showy flower heads in late summer and fall, and dried flower stems in winter.
