Coral Carpet
(Hylotelephium album ‘Coral
Carpet’) sports tiny leaves
that turn from a vibrant
green to a reddish-bronze
in winter; star-shaped white
flowers appear above foliage.


Russian stonecrop
(Hylotelephium
kamtschaticum) forms a
dense mat of green leaves,
vaguely resembling a
tiny succulent version of
pachysandra. The cultivar
Variegatum has white-
rimmed leaves.
Christmas Cheer
(Hylotelephium x
rubrotinctum) stands under
6 inches, with yellow flowers
and chubby red and green
leaves. Hardy only in Zones
9 and 10, its red coloring
becomes more pronounced
in more light or colder
weather, hence the name.
Angelina stonecrop
(Hylotelephium rupestre
‘Angelina’) is an aggressive
spreader. It has bright yellow
flowers and chartreuse
foliage that often turns
amber in the fall.
Cape Blanco
(Hylotelephium
spathuliofolium ‘Cape
Blanco’) features powder-
gray leaves, pink stems, and
yellow flowers.
Dragon’s Blood
Two-Row Stonecrop
(Hylotelephium spurium
‘Dragon’s Blood’) is
dramatic, with its greenish
bronze to darker red foliage
and burgundy flowers.
