Petrosedum rupestre, commonly known as reflexed stonecrop, thrives in rocky, well-drained soils with minimal watering and neglect. It is an excellent choice for rock gardens, walls, and ground cover in sunny to partly shaded spots. Once established, it is highly self-sufficient and requires very little intervention.
