Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A smaller, yet vigorous stonecrop presenting itself in the form of an 18-20" rounded mound, its stems culminating in gay lavender-pink umbels of flowers late summer and fall. Foliage is a chalky light green…full sun, any soil with decent drainage…a great butterfly plant! Carefree and low maintenance – also adapts well to container culture too. Drought tolerant and long lived.
