Autumn Joy Stonecrop is a tough upright clumping evergreen succulent with large light green scalloped fleshy foliage. Large disk-shaped clusters of small pink star-shaped flowers that mature to russet cover the plant in late summer to fall attracting butterflies. Grows best in full sun and dry to medium well-drained soils. Drought and heat tolerant once established.
