Red Carpet Stonecrop is a dense mat-forming evergreen succulent with whorls of green flattened wedge-shaped fleshy foliage with thin red margins that flush deep rose in summer before turning deep burgundy in fall and winter. Clusters of tiny red star-shaped flowers bloom in late summer. Grows best in full sun and dry to medium well-drained soils. Drought and heat tolerant once established.
