Plant Characteristics:
Lidakense Stonecrop will grow to be only 2 inches tall at maturity extending to 4 inches tall with the
flowers, with a spread of 8 inches. Its foliage tends to remain low and dense right to the ground. It grows
at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years.
This perennial does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers dry to average moisture levels with very
well-drained soil, and will often die in 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 plant can be propagated by division.
This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.
