Frosted Fire Stonecrop is a sprawling clumping evergreen succulent with whorls of fleshy dark grey-green foliage with creamy yellow margins. Dense rounded clusters of ivory buds open to tiny rose pink star-shaped flowers that age to salmon-bronze then copper-red and top the stems from late summer to mid fall. Grows best in full sun and dry to medium well-drained soils. Drought and heat tolerant once established.
