Colourful for both its flowers and foliage, this evergreen Stonecrop selection is ideal for the front edge of a sunny border, in containers or in the rock garden. If forms a low mound of blue-green needle-shaped leaves,with upright stems in summer that bear clusters of bright yellow starry flowers.
