Red Stonecrop grows well in the ground and feels at home in any type of soil. Prepare a suitable hole and plant the Red Stonecrop at the appropriate depth in the hole. The top of the root ball should be just slightly below ground level. Fill the hole with soil and press firmly. Water immediately after planting. Heavy garden soil can be improved by mixing in some sharp sand. Red Stonecrop blossoms and grows well in complete or partial sunshine and even in the shade.

Red Stonecrop is a ground cover plant

The strong, evergreen Red Stonecrop is one of the strongest ground cover plants. The stems lay on the ground while also covering it. You can combine the Red Stonecrop with large groups of plants, for example, along a garden path or border. You can also plant it between bushes such as Ceanothus Pallidus 'Marie Simon'. It also looks at home nice in the rock garden or in a flower pot.

Red Stonecrop is a strong garden plant that requires minimal maintenance. Water it during very dry and warm periods. Between October and March large clumps can be divided and replanted. This ground cover plant is hardy.

Red Stonecrop is a succulent plant since its leaves can retain high levels of moisture, which means that it fights very well against drought.
