Autumn Fire Stonecrop is a sprawling clumping evergreen succulent with whorls of fleshy light grey-green foliage. Dense rounded clusters of tiny rose pink star-shaped flowers age to salmon then brick red and top the stems from mid summer into fall. Grows best in full sun and dry to medium well-drained soils. Drought and heat tolerant once established.
