Pacific stonecrop
This native succulent brings fun into any rock garden! The intense silvery-white foliage forms thick rosettes, and side branches send out new rosettes to colonize. Stonecrop grows 3 to 4 in. tall and 1 ft. wide.
The star like flower spikes are bright orange-yellow and contrast the rosettes dramatically. Excellent in rock gardens, and as a container plant.
A small amount of the foliage is edible and can spice up any salad or stir-fry.
Succulents are best with ample drainage. Mass these at a sunny slopped entry, also great as ground cover.
The San Bruno Elfin Butterfly use stonecrop to lay eggs.
Lifeform: Perennial
Sun: Full Sun, Part Shade
Other: Attracts Butterflies, Deer Resistant, Drought Tolerant
