Hexagon Stonecrop

Hexagon stonecrop is a hardy evergreen perennial that forms a mat that is 4” tall and 8” wide. It blooms in summer with yellow, star-shaped flowers. It gets its name from the whorls of six leaves that grown along its stems. It is not an evergreen groundcover, but will turn an attractive shade of red in the fall. It works well in a rock garden, where it will not be shaded by taller plants. Plant in well-drained, gravelly soil in full sun (this plant will also tolerate some shade).
