Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Variegated green leaves are edged with a warm golden yellow that fades to a soft cream by fall. Large clusters of soft pink buds open to a deep pink blossoms on tall stems. 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.
Named for its striking creamy-gold edged foliage, this sturdy, vigorous 30" mound also produces a fine show of large flat flower clusters of shell-pink aging to deep magenta!...great dried flower. S/M-D/GDr PP20368
