Plant Care

Pink Stonecrop is remarkably low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established. Water sparingly, allowing soil to dry between waterings. Remove spent flower heads to encourage continued blooming and maintain plant appearance. In spring, trim back any winter-damaged foliage to promote healthy new growth. This plant rarely requires fertilization and is naturally resistant to most pests and diseases.

Planting Instructions

Plant Pink Stonecrop in spring or early fall, spacing plants 12-18 inches apart. Dig holes twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Place plant at the same level it was growing in the container, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Add a thin layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot. For container planting, use a well-draining potting mix specifically formulated for succulents.
