Why you need this plant:     This genus of about 40 evergreen succulents almost all have small yellow, pink or white star-shaped flowers but their chief beauty is in the symmetry of their rosettes and the way they spread to form carpets of foliage.  Ideal for rock gardens, walls and banks, troughs or tufa.   Hardy alpine succulents.

 
Planting Info:       Plant in full sun in gravelly, well-drained soil.  Flowering does not begin for several years.  The rosettes die after flowering leaving offsets, from which they can be propagated.
