FAQ about Stonecrop – Classic

What kind of soil suits stonecrop best?
Stonecrop thrives in full sun in well-drained, rather poor soil. Soil that is too rich or wet makes the stems soft so that they flop open. Sandy or gritty garden soil is ideal.
How often should stonecrop be watered?
Stonecrop is a succulent that stores water in its fleshy leaves and copes well with drought. Water new plants regularly, while established plants only need water in long dry spells. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems.
When should stonecrop be cut back?
Leave the flower heads standing over winter, as they look lovely touched with frost. Cut the old stems down in early spring when new shoots appear. Cutting the stems back by a third in early summer, known as the Chelsea chop, gives sturdier plants that do not flop.
Which pests and diseases can affect stonecrop?
Stonecrop is very tough and rarely troubled. Slugs and snails can eat the new shoots, and vine weevil grubs sometimes attack the roots of plants in pots. Root rot occurs in wet soil.
Is stonecrop good for bees and butterflies?
Yes, stonecrop is one of the best late-season plants for pollinators. Its flat flower heads open in late summer and autumn, when few other plants are in flower, and attract bees, bumblebees and butterflies.
