White stonecrop is an extremely drought-tolerant succulent ground cover that thrives in poor, well-drained soils and full sun, making it ideal for rock gardens, green roofs, and container arrangements. Water very infrequently and ensure excellent drainage, as the plant is highly susceptible to root rot in wet or clay-heavy soils. In summer it produces a carpet of small white star-shaped flowers that attract bees and butterflies.
