Notes
Blue spruce stonecrop (Petrosedum forsterianum) is a succulent for borders, containers, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It is evergreen and drought tolerant, so it needs little care. It spreads 12 to 24 inches wide.
Pairs well with American century plant, Western sword fern, and Gladiator ornamental onion.
