Blue Spruce Stonecrop is a dense mat-forming evergreen succulent with fleshy blue-green foliage resembling conifer needles that flushes pink in winter. Clusters of tiny yellow star-shaped flowers dust the plant in late summer. Grows best in full sun and dry to medium well-drained soils. Drought and heat tolerant once established.
