Landscape Qualities

Frosted Fire Stonecrop is a dense herbaceous perennial with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its relatively coarse texture can be used to stand it apart from other garden plants with finer foliage.

Ornamental Qualities

Frosted Fire Stonecrop has masses of beautiful clusters of rose flowers at the ends of the stems from late summer to late fall that fade to shell pink over time | which emerge from distinctive white flower buds | and which are most effective when planted in groupings. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its attractive large succulent oval leaves remain green in color with distinctive buttery yellow edges throughout the season.

Planting and Growing

Frosted Fire Stonecrop will grow to be about 12 inches tall at maturity | with a spread of 18 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant | individual plants should be spaced approximately 16 inches apart. It grows at a fast rate | and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 15 years. As an herbaceous perennial | this plant will usually die back to the crown each winter | and will regrow from the base each spring. Be careful not to disturb the crown in late winter when it may not be readily seen!

This plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist growing conditions | but will not tolerate any standing water. It is considered to be drought-tolerant | and thus makes an ideal choice for a low-water garden or xeriscape application. It is not particular as to soil pH | but grows best in poor soils | and is able to handle environmental salt. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid. It can be propagated by division; however | as a cultivated variety | be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.
