Tricolor Stonecrop is one of the best perennials for long lasting interest. It's attractive tiny succulent round leaves emerge pink in spring, turning green in colour with showy white variegation and tinges of pink throughout the season. It has masses of beautiful shell pink star-shaped flowers at the ends of the stems from early to mid summer, which are most effective when planted in groupings.
