Choose Atlantis Stonecrop for a dry, sunny edge where you want a low variegated mat instead of taller flowers. The tradeoff: it needs sharp drainage and will not give height, privacy, or big late-season structure.
Buy This If

PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
The variegated foliage carries more visual weight than most low sedums, but the plant stays close to the ground.
Growth Rate
A-
It fills in at a useful pace for edging without usually becoming a plant you have to constantly rein in.
Maintenance
A
Once established in lean, well-drained soil, it asks for very little beyond occasional cleanup.
Deer Resistance
A-
Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe.
Small Space Fit
A
Its low spreading habit works well at path edges, in troughs, and between stones where taller perennials feel crowded.
Screening Value
F
This is a ground-hugging accent, not a plant for privacy, blocking views, or adding vertical mass.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Atlantis for hot, dry edges where mulch keeps washing out or taller perennials look too bulky.

Customers Usually Ask
Will it flower?
Yes, it produces yellow summer blooms, but the foliage is the main reason to buy it.
Can it handle containers?
Yes, as long as the pot drains well and does not stay soggy.
Does it spread aggressively?
It spreads to form a mat, but it is not a rampant groundcover.

The guys showed up on time, did a nice install and cleaned up after themselves.
Found this company on GOOGLE, and so glad I did!
I needed trees asap, to create a fence from neighbors. None of the local nurseries had any stock for the Green Giant Arborvitae’s.
Only a 30 min ride, and we were met with the kindest folks and the BEST selection of trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials.
Don’t even bother with the Big Box stores, (if they have them, they are usually half dead) when you can get them bigger and HEALTHIER at Pro Growers. A N D local delivery is readily available!
