Stonecrop 
Members of this family have thick 
glaucous leaves. Their native habitat is 
the dry rocky mountainsides of Europe 
and America. They are very hardy, 
drought resisting and like the broad 
sunlight in most instances, but most va¬ 
rieties will thrive in a limited amount 
of shade. The dwarfs are excellent in 
the rock garden and the medium and 
taller sorts are fine for the perennial 
border.
