Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Rich, glossy, deep purple-black foliage on strong, non-flopping upright stems sport clusters of coral red flowers 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.
