Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This stonecrop has numerous red purple flowers above remarkably toothed leaves and red stems. The serration of the leaves will make you think twice before putting your hand into the clump! 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.
