Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

‘Tricolor’ is a sprawling, low-growing, ground-hugging, mat-forming stonecrop, similar in form to 'Dragons Blood,' with rounded, succulent leaves and growing about 3 or so inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide. However, the leaves of 'Tricolor' are green in the center with white margins tinged with pink, and holds this coloration throughout the summer. Tiny, star-shaped, pink flowers bloom in late spring to mid-summer. Use along paths, in rock garden, parkstrips, or the edges of sunny borders. Under stress, this plant may revert to a solid green leaf.
