Tasteless stonecrop is a low-growing, mat-forming succulent that excels in rock gardens, green roofs, and dry wall crevices where few other plants survive. It tolerates poor, shallow soils and requires very little water once established, making it an ideal low-maintenance groundcover for sunny spots. Plant in well-drained to gritty soil and avoid overwatering, which is the primary cause of failure with this species.
