Also known as Blue Spruce Stonecrop, Crooked Yellow Stonecrop, Jenny’s Stonecrop, Reflexed Stonecrop and Stone orpine. Evergreen ground-hugging mat-forming perennial with bluish-green leaves somewhat reminiscent of a spruce. Clusters of luminous yellow star shaped flowers appear through summer creating a stunning display. This is a low maintenance vigorous grower which will provide great groundcover in hot dry spots, or looks fabulous cascading from a pot or spilling over rock walls. Height to 15cm when in flower. Frost and drought hardy. See this article about the California bushfires.
9cm pot
Stonecrop enjoys well drained, poor soils and full sun although it will tolerate part shade. Thrives mostly on neglect but may need the odd top up of water in summer.
Stonecrop was used in the Middle Ages to treat various conditions such as scurvy, hypertension and urinary complaints. It is considered a diuretic and is very rich in vitamin C.

Jo has a passion for growing herbs but is not a qualified herbalist and has no medical background.
We are lucky to have Patricia Beagle working here at times, who is qualified, and some of her advice does appear on these pages, but herbs act differently for different people and can interact with other medicines. We therefore always recommend that you consult with your own qualified health-care practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing or on any medications.
