Notes
'Red Carpet' caucasian stonecrop (Phedimus spurius 'Red Carpet') is a succulent for borders, containers, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It stays 3 to 6 inches tall and spreads 12 to 24 inches. The evergreen leaves tolerate drought, and red flowers attract butterflies. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Maiden pink, Blanket flower, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Limeglow creeping juniper.
