Cape Blanco Stonecrop is a dense mat-forming evergreen succulent with tiny fat whorls of fleshy silver foliage that tints purple in fall. 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. Cape Blanco has edible foliage.
