Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Small cute 12 inch high and two foot wide mounds of lightly scalloped,greyish green leaves make a great addition to the border or the rock-garden. Dark cherry pink flowers almost cover the plant in late summer. 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.
