| The border varieties of Stonecrop are a dependable choice for the late summer and fall garden, offering foliage interest earlier in the season, then a colourful display of flowers in the fall. This introduction features branching heads of dusty-rose flowers, over a mound of rich purple-black leaves. Even the dead flower heads have good winter effect. Sometimes floppy in moist and rich sites; pinch growth back by half in June to reduce the height.. Outstanding cut flower, and also attracts butterflies.
