White stonecrop (Sedum album subsp. teretifolium 'Murale') is a low-growing succulent plant with fluffy green foliage and clusters of creamy white flowers in the summer. The white stonecrop are easy to care for and thrive in bright, sunny locations. They require well-draining soil and don't need much water. The silvery foliage is beautiful and gives off a glimmer in the sunlight. Its white flowers attract butterflies and beneficial insects. It can be used in rock gardens, containers, and borders or allow it to spill over a wall. White stonecrop makes a great focal point in any landscape and it can be admired for its texture and interesting form.

watering
White stonecrop is a low maintenance, drought-tolerant succulent which requires very little water. It is best to water it only when the soil is dry to the touch. This means that if the top layer of the soil is still damp, it doesn’t need to be watered. Generally, once or twice a month is enough for most of the year, though more frequent watering may be required in the summer months. Afterwards, it is best to allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again.
sunlight
White Stonecrop (Sedum album subsp. teretifolium 'Murale') prefers full sun, receiving a minimum of 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. However, in particularly hot and dry climates, Brown tips on the leaves may indicate the need for more shade. When grown in partial sun, it can tolerate light shade, but growth and flowering can be diminished. Provide as much direct sunlight as possible to help this species thrive.
pruning
White stonecrop should be pruned back to a height of 6-8 inches in the spring, when growth begins. Pruning encourages bushier, healthier growth and limits the spread of the plant. Extra-long stems should be treated with special care, as severe pruning can damage them. Flowering can be reduced by pruning away withered blooms in the late summer or early fall. However, it is important not to prune too heavily during this time, as flower buds for the following season will form on the stems. It may be helpful to remove spent flower heads and short, woody stems in the fall to promote strong, healthy growth for the following year.
