A vigorous species of Stonecrop, excellent as a groundcover or lawn substitute in hot, sunny areas. It forms a mat of blue-green leaves, arranged around the stems like spruce needles. Clusters of yellow star flowers appear in summer. A fast grower, this is best kept away from slower alpine plants that it might smother. Good choice for tubs and mixed containers. You can also mow it in the spring if desired for a quick haircut! (but don't cut it to ground level, keep mower blades high!)
