About this plant

Unleash a fiery display in your garden with 'Dragon's Blood' Stonecrop. This exceptional cultivar of Phedimus spurius boasts succulent, deep crimson foliage that intensifies in direct sunlight, providing a rich, textural carpet where other plants might falter. In late summer, clusters of star-shaped, rosy-pink flowers emerge, creating a striking contrast against the dark leaves and attracting beneficial pollinators. Ideal for rock gardens, xeriscapes, living walls, or as an attractive filler between pavers, 'Dragon's Blood' is remarkably adaptable and low maintenance. Its creeping habit forms a dense mat that effectively suppresses weeds, making it an excellent choice for erosion control on slopes or challenging areas. Hardy and drought-tolerant once established, this perennial groundcover offers enduring beauty with minimal effort, making it a favorite for both novice and experienced gardeners seeking vibrant color and reliable performance.

Care & maintenance

Extremely low maintenance. Requires minimal fertilization. Prune back any leggy growth in early spring to encourage denser foliage and more vigorous flowering. Division can be done in spring or fall if propagation is desired.
