Plum Dazzled stonecrop is grown as much for its dramatic foliage as for its flowers, opening gray-blue in spring and darkening to near-black purple by midsummer, before dense clusters of rose-pink flowers appear in late summer. Its bold, dark colouring makes a striking contrast against silver or chartreuse companion plants in rock gardens, gravel beds, and containers. It remains evergreen in mild climates and needs almost no maintenance.
