Nursery contributed plant descriptions

From the headwaters of the Applegate River on the Oregon-California border, comes this demure, bright green, almost monstrose-looking stonecrop. With irregular rosettes, glossy green leaves, producing numerous spidery offsets, quick to form a small-scale groundcover. Most attractive hanging over the edges of pots, hanging baskets, or gutters, if on a green roof. Sun to dappled shade. Zone 4.
