Aizoon Stonecrop

Aizoon stonecrop is a clump-forming, succulent perennial with upright stems, toothed leaves, and clusters of yellow, star-shaped flowers in summer. The Royal Horticultural Society profile uses the synonym Sedum aizoon for this species and describes it as a sun-loving plant for well-drained sites. [RHS plant profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/16923/sedum-aizoon/details) ## Growing Conditions Plant in full sun or light shade in well-drained soil; the species tolerates dry conditions once established. Chalk, loam, and sand are suitable when drainage is good. The RHS gives a broad mature height and spread range, which supports keeping the existing approximate dimensions without implying a single exact size. ## Garden Use Use this stonecrop in a rock garden, gravel planting, border edge, container, or sunny slope. Its compact clump and summer flowers add structure and seasonal color, while the succulent foliage suits relatively dry planting areas. The common name is also used for other stonecrops, so confirm the botanical name when choosing plants. ## Maintenance Avoid persistently wet soil. After flowering, remove spent stems if a tidy appearance is wanted; otherwise, let the plant finish its seasonal cycle. Divide established clumps when they become crowded.
