    • I have these as well as another stonecrop and the finches love them!!They eat the leaves so I never get blooms. I’ve covered them with cages this year but don’t really like to look at wire cages. Not sure what else to do. Plants are nice but….

    • I purchased 2 and they could not support their weight, I staked them but they turned woody and died. PW was amazing and sent me 2 gallon sized plants. They were gorgeous out of the box. I carefully planted them and within a day or two they were flopping over. Bought plant supports to hold them up but their stems look dead. I’m leaving them hoping they might come back next year.
