Phedimus spurius, commonly known as two-row stonecrop, is a tough, low-growing succulent groundcover that thrives in well-drained to rocky soils with moderate sun. Water sparingly and avoid overwatering, as this plant is highly susceptible to root rot in wet conditions. It makes an excellent rock garden or container plant and spreads attractively as a groundcover.
