Thick-leaf stonecrop is a charming, low-growing succulent that thrives in sunny to lightly shaded spots with excellent drainage. Water infrequently — allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings — as it is highly susceptible to root rot in wet conditions. It is perfect for rock gardens, green roofs, wall crevices, or containers, and requires very little attention once established.
