Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant from spring to autumn in a sunny spot, 25–30 cm apart. Add sand or fine grit to heavy soil – stonecrop dislikes standing water.
Watering and feeding. Water only in the first weeks after planting and in very long dry spells. It hardly needs feeding; rich soil makes it floppy.
Care. Cut back the faded flower stems after flowering. If any shoot turns plain green, remove it to keep the variegation.
Gardener's tip. The variegation is best in full sun on lean soil. It is easy to propagate by division or stem cuttings in spring.
