Keeping this in view, how do you care for a stonecrop plant?

Stonecrop doesn’t have a deep root system and can be buried shallowly in soil. They cannot tolerate competition from weeds and other plants, but a mulch of small stones helps minimize such pests. The plants need well-drained soil that is rich in organic amendment.

Similarly one may ask, why is my stonecrop dying? Overwatering is another major cause of death for stonecrop succulents! Stonecrop succulents that are kept outside don’t need a whole lot of water. During the winter when they’re dormant, they may not need any water at all if your area gets rainfall.

In this way, what is blue spruce sedum?

Sedum reflexum ‘Blue Spruce

A drought tolerant groundcover with small, succulent, blue leaves with an appearance reminiscent of the needles of a blue spruce conifer. Yellow flowers accent the foliage in early summer. A beautiful addition to containers, rock gardens, and alpine gardens.
