Stonecrop is never picky about its soil, but this one likes a loamy, sandy mixture best. You need not fertilize. Remove old stems as necessary, but beyond that, no trimming is needed. Divide clumps every couple of years.

Growing almost as low as Moss does, Mossy Stonecrop has intricate green foliage that turns a pleasant reddish color. There are in-between bronze tones sprinkled in, as well. Foliage is cylindrical and quite intricate, and blooms appear atop the mossy mass during summer. Blooms are of a nice pinkish white, with some darker pink running through them. They stand slightly higher than the foliage mat, on stems that have visual interest all their own. This is a pretty kaleidoscope of color to place in garden beds, along small slopes, near rock walls, and on borders where pollinators can find it easily.
