Plant Information

Plant Care

Stonecrop requires minimal maintenance once established. Water sparingly, allowing soil to dry between waterings. Remove dead or yellowing foliage as needed to maintain appearance. Fertilization is typically unnecessary, as these plants prefer lean soil conditions. Trim back after flowering to maintain shape and prevent self-seeding.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or early summer in well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Place plant at the same level it was growing in the container. Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for spread. Water thoroughly after planting and apply a light layer of mulch, keeping it away from the crown of the plant. Stonecrop will establish quickly in proper conditions and begin spreading within the first growing season.
