Nevius Stonecrop is fairly uncommon in the southeast occurring on limestone and shaley cliffs in sun or light shade. In Tennessee, it is an endangered plant only growing along the Ocoee River gorge in the southeastern corner of the statee. Tiny, blue-green, succulent leaves form evergreen, 3 inch high tuffets with early summer starry white flowers with purple anthers on 4 inch stalks. Although delicate in appearance, Nevius Stonecrop is really quite tough. It likes very good drainage and sun or part shade and dry to moist conditions. Try it with other rock garden types like Alumroot, Birdsfoot Violet, 'Corbett' Columbine, Firepink, Glade Savory, or Cumberland Rosemary. Cat# 1315
