A carpeting variety of Stonecrop, especially useful in hot sunny sites.

Useful as a lawn substitute for small to medium-sized areas, also between flagstones or in the rock garden. Plants will tolerate poor soil so long as drainage is good. Easily propagated by breaking off pieces and sticking them in the ground in mid spring. Tolerates occasional to light foot traffic. Evergreen. May be the same as Sedum hispanicum minor.
