Highlights
Turkish Stonecrop (Rosularia platyphylla) (Berger): One of our most popular succulents, and with good reason! It is a hardy ground cover plant that can tolerate both droughts and frosts. It has the rosette shape of Sempervivum but the matting ability of Sedum, though it is easier to manage its spread. These spring green rosettes stay small and soft and tend to form mounds as they propagate. Try using them for living walls, between stepping stones, or on green roofs and you'll get a sea of small, white flowers in midsummer.
Rosularia are easy, resilient plants that thrive outdoors with partial to full sun and great drainage. Plant in raised beds or containers with drainage holes and mix 50% coarse sand, pumice, or perlite into the soil to prevent rot. Regular water will help young plants establish roots and spread quickly, but mature Rosularia can tolerate several months of drought. If you choose to propagate by hand, cut off a rosette and transplant it to re-root.

Hi there!
I believe an embankment would suit these plants nicely! The slope would help drain water and therefore prevent root rot. To tell you the truth, it may even be better to plant these on an embankment than off of one!
These little plants can grow in the cracks of rocky garden walls and cliffs, so I imagine an embankment would be closer to that than a pampered, flat garden!
Also, Berks county appears to be around zone 6, which should also suit these zone 5 five plants well. I hope this helps!

• Staff Answer
A bit, but it does not spread as widely as Sedum Stonecrops and tenacious weeds will still persist.
• Staff Answer
Yes it can! Many succulents, including this one, love embankments as they cling to cliffs in the wild.
• Staff Answer
Yes, this plant has a shallow root system. Just be sure that this stump gets some protection from afternoon sun during the hot Houston summers.
• Staff Answer
It can survive and grow, but it likely won't thrive in an indoor environment. Rosularia aren't as tough in indoor environments and are more susceptible to disease.

This link is a list of our smallest succulents that are also cold hardy (zone 3-7 plants are included). These would fit between stones in a walkway. Be sure that they're planted low enough in the cracks to avoid direct foot traffic.

Shop Succulent Soil Here
Succulents need grittier soil than other plants because they are adapted to dry conditions and store water in their leaves. Regular potting soil mixes stay damp for long periods of time, which can cause rot in succulents. Instead, use a sandy, well-draining soil so you can water thoroughly without leaving your succulent in standing water.

Our plants can be transplanted immediately upon arrival.
If you want to wait to transplant, they can remain in their original containers for up to a month. If the pots came in a plastic carrier tray, remove the pots from the carrier tray prior to the first watering.
Keep the plants indoors near a sunny window or outdoors under a roof (only if outdoor temperatures stay above your succulent's minimum hardiness temperature). Water only after the soil is fully dry by drenching from above with a faucet, hose, or watering can. Gently shake excess water from the leaves and allow containers to drain completely.
• Staff Answer
Fertilizing is not necessary, but it is a good option for succulent growers who want to encourage faster, larger growth. It can be used on mature plants with established roots. Only fertilize in the growing season (spring and summer for most varieties) to avoid weakening or burning dormant plants. Use a light touch and make 2-3 applications of low-Nitrogen, diluted fertilizer each year (N-P-K ratio around 5-10-10). You can find specially-formulated cactus / succulent fertilizers in most garden centers or go organic with compost tea or bone meal.

• Staff Answer
Succulents need deep, infrequent watering, especially during their growing season and when they are young and establishing roots. Only water after the soil is completely dry and the plant feels less firm. Err on the side of underwatering. Watering too frequently is the most common way to kill succulents.
HOW TO WATER SUCCULENTS
- Drench from above using a faucet, hose, or watering can
- Do not mist with a spray bottle (the only exception is for Air Plants)
- Water until it drains from the container's drainage hole. If your container does not have a drainage hole (not recommended), use about 1/3 the volume of the container…
