There are about 400 usually succulent annuals and evergreen, semi evergreen, or deciduous biennials, perennials, subshrubs, and shrubs, in the Crassulaceae family, in this genus.\u00a0 They are widely distributed, most are found in Mountains of the Northern Hemisphere, but some in arid areas of South America.\u00a0 Stonecrops are very variable from carpet forming to upright in habit reaching 3′ feet tall, and produce alternate, succulent, opposite, or whorled, fleshy, cylindrical, lanceolate or egg or elliptic al shaped, flattened leaves and usually terminal, often compound, cymes, panicles, or corymbs of generally star shaped and 5 petaled flowers(seldom 4 or 6 petaled), borne mostly in summer and autumn with twice the number of stamens than petals.\u00a0 Grow hardy species in a rock garden or at the front of a herbaceous or mixed border.\u00a0 All parts of the plant may cause mild stomach upset if ingested, contact with the sap may irritate skin.<\/p>\n

Grow in moderately fertile, well drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil in full sun.\u00a0 Vigorous species tolerate light shade.\u00a0 Cut back spreading species after flowering to maintain shaped.\u00a0 Divide larger, herbaceous species every 3 or 4 years to improve flowering in spring.<\/p>\n

Prone to mealybugs, scale insect, slugs and snails, <\/em>and the larvae of some Lepidoptera <\/em>including Grey Chi.<\/em><\/p>\n
