Lovely plant. Very reliable. Looks great as it mounds over rocks. It is extremely easy to grow. It is also growing out of cracks in my landscape timbers, in a tree stump, and in homemade hypertufa planters. Just break off an inch or two and give it a little dirt. Next season you have a whole new mound.
