Petrosedum sediforme, a Mediterranean stonecrop, is an easy-care succulent-like sedum that tolerates poor, rocky soils and dry conditions once established. Plant it in a sunny to partly shaded spot with excellent drainage, and avoid overwatering, which is the most common cause of failure. It works beautifully in rock gardens, green roofs, and drought-tolerant borders.
