Ornamental Features

Czar's Gold Stonecrop has masses of beautiful clusters of yellow star-shaped flowers at the ends of the stems from early to late summer, which are most effective when planted in groupings. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its succulent narrow leaves emerge brick red in spring, turning green in colour throughout the season. The dark red stems are very colorful and add to the overall interest of the plant.

Landscape Attributes

Czar's Gold Stonecrop is a dense herbaceous perennial with a ground-hugging habit of growth. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage.

This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. It is a good choice for attracting bees and butterflies to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.

Mass Planting
Rock/Alpine Gardens

General Garden Use
