Autumn Charm Stonecrop is a clumping upright evergreen succulent with variegated whorls of fleshy light green foliage with buttery margins. Dense rounded clusters of tiny white buds open to rose pink star-shaped flowers that age to 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.
