Also known as Sedum rupestre is a vigorous variety 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.
