    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Besides the no maintenance, ever-blooming, drought tolerant, blue flowered, clay loving, deer proof shrub that everyone always asks us for the second most requested plant would be “a drought tolerant groundcover”. So with much interest & excitement we introduce this colorful new “stonecrop” to fit your bill. 6”-10” tall & 12”-18” wide, Sedum ‘Silver Stone’ forms a tight & highly textural clump of needle like foliage providing that lovely effect of light & shadow. Ideal as a low edger or filler between other dry-loving companions, it blooms in summer on upright stems topped by starry yellow little flowers. Pretty! A cinch-to-grow succulent, you can easily make lots more free plants by snapping off pieces & sticking them in the soil. Prune back in Spring if looking dog-eared after Winter.
