Old Man's Bones Stonecrop (Sedum globosum 'Old Man's Bones')

Old Man's Bones Stonecrop is a compact, waterwise groundcover that brings unique texture to sunny spaces with very little upkeep. Its chubby, bead-like foliage forms a dense mat that fills gaps, softens edges, and keeps beds looking finished through heat and dry weather. In summer, bright yellow flowers add a clean pop of color and attract pollinators. With sharp drainage, it is an easy choice for rock gardens, stonework, and containers where you want dependable coverage.

Distinctive Features

This low, spreading stonecrop is known for rounded, succulent leaves packed tightly along short stems, creating a distinctive, sculptural look. Foliage is generally green with a bronze cast, and it can deepen into red to purple tones with strong sun and seasonal cooling. Clusters of small, star-shaped yellow flowers bloom in summer just above the foliage, adding a bright seasonal accent. In mild winter regions it can hold foliage longer, extending texture beyond the main growing season.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun for the best density, color, and flowering.
  • Soil: Sharply well-drained soil is essential, especially sandy, gravelly, or rocky sites.
  • Water: Water to establish, then allow soil to dry between waterings, because consistently wet soil can cause rot.
  • USDA Zones: Hardy in USDA Zones 3 to 9 in typical garden conditions.
  • Mature Size: Typically grows 2 to 4 inches tall and spreads 8 to 12 inches wide.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use a broad patch as a low focal point where the bead-like texture can stand out against stone or gravel.
  • Rock Gardens: Tuck into rock and gravel gardens where sharp drainage and reflected heat are common.
  • Between Stones: Plant in crevices, along walls, or in tight spaces where it can knit together into tidy coverage.
  • Edging: Line paths and bed fronts for a clean, low border with distinctive texture.
  • Containers: Use in troughs and pots to add tight, sculptural foliage and a bright summer bloom accent.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Pruning: Trim lightly after flowering or in early spring to refresh growth and keep the mat dense.
  • Fertilizing: Avoid heavy feeding, because lean soils help maintain compact growth and stronger color.
  • Watering: Once established, water only during extended drought, and avoid frequent shallow irrigation.
  • Drainage: Improve heavy soils with grit or plant in raised areas to keep crowns from staying wet.
  • Propagation: Expand plantings easily by re-rooting small stem pieces in well-drained soil.

Why Choose Old Man's Bones Stonecrop?

  • One-of-a-Kind Texture: Rounded, bead-like foliage creates a look that stands apart from typical groundcovers.
  • Summer Color: Yellow, star-shaped flowers add a bright seasonal highlight and support pollinators.
  • Waterwise Coverage: Spreading habit fills gaps and performs well with reduced watering once established.
  • Tough Site Fit: Thrives in rocky, lean, fast-draining soils where many plants struggle.
  • Lower Browsing Pressure: Foliage is often less appealing to rabbits and deer than many soft-leaved groundcovers.

Old Man's Bones Stonecrop is an easy way to add durable coverage and sculptural texture to sunny, fast-draining areas. Pair it with gravel, boulders, and other drought-tolerant plants to create a clean, low-maintenance look that holds up in tough conditions. With sun and drainage, it stays compact, resilient, and visually strong year after year.

Destroyed in under 10 minutes
Size: 9 in, Color: Large Bone
I bought 2 of these toys, one for my 9 year old great dane who isn't an aggressive chewer, and one for my 6 month old puppy who is average. In less than 10 minutes both were destroyed and my dane managed to swallow a good chunk. I wasn't surprised when they both had small holes on the ends and started pulling the stuffing out. The stuffing and squeakers were confiscated immediately, but I let them keep chewing. By the time I came back from throwing the insides away, both dogs had chewed the toys in half and my dane swallowed a chunk when he saw me coming. The puppy was going to do the same thing, but luckily we're working on his "drop" command so he was excited enough for the bigger payout and dropped it. They didn't just come apart at the seams, the whole toy ripped in half making it too easy to swallow. Neither of them are aggressive cheers and the toys didn't hold up at all. A stuffed animal toy would have lasted longer (and has any time I've allowed it). 10 minutes of playtime is probably too generous , but I'm trying to be fair. If I hadn't been right there watching them, they both would have been able to swallow the whole thing in minutes. Definitely not safe for any amount of actual chewing.

The perfect teething toy for a puppy of any size - apparently indestructible!
Size: 9 in, Color: Large Bone, Size: 9 in, Color: Large Bone
I ordered this product for an overly excitable, destructive corgi chihuahua mix puppy, who was teething. He was a foster and managed to destroy, almost immediately, every toy I had on-hand for him, and toys I picked up at the local pet store. I was very concerned he'd swallow parts of toys, which can lead to fatal intestinal blockages, not to mention extremely high vet bills which I couldn't cover as a simple foster mom. When it arrived, I crossed my fingers that the "Seam Protection - doubled-stitched seams with heavy duty thread" would actually add "extra durability." And I was NOT disappointed! The bone shape of the toy would probably fit comfortably in the mouth of any dog or puppy, as you can see from photo #4. What's coolest about the shape of this toy is the pup can sink all of his or her teeth into it, providing comfort for the entire mouth and not just a few teeth or only one section of its mouth at a time. I was much more experienced as a kitten foster mom, and had had similar difficulties finding teething toys for kittens. This toy is thin and light weight enough that I imagine it could provide relief for little kitten mouths, also, but I didn't get to find out, as my little foster pup chose this as his #1 favorite toy and brought it with him to his forever home. I wanted to know how long it would take before he'd destroy it, though (picture 5 he'd had this Dura-Fused bone toy for a few hours short of one week, and the last photo - you'll see he'd not even undone a small portion of the seam!) Overall I would highly recommend this product for teething babies of almost any species. As far as I could tell it is indestructible. Almost seven days of constant gnawing and he'd not even taken one stitch out, created any tear or rip, let alone, gotten close to being able to swallow the squeaker (always a fear!). I imagine months later, he's still been unsuccessful at ripping/tearing this toy at all. I'd gladly buy again should I foster any dog or puppy - the company lives up to its moniker, Ethical Products, because they've produced a no-frills and apparently indestructible squeak toy which I'd have no fears of leaving with a teething puppy unsupervised. Highly recommended!

Good tug toy
Size: 15 in, Color: Retriever
I have a doberman that shready everything in 2.5 seconds. This lasted a few days so was impressed for the cost. Would buy again as he really liked it.

My dog’s new favorite
Size: 8 in, Color: Squirrel
didn’t expect much for the price but my dog actually loves this thing. It’s tough enough to hold up to regular chewing and the leather gives it a nice texture that’s different from the usual plush toys. He carries it around like it’s his prize. It’s not indestructible and if your dog is a heavy shredder it probably won’t last forever but for moderate chewers it holds up way better than a lot of toys I’ve tried. Definitely worth grabbing again.

Not for gnawers
Size: 11.5 in, Color: Bear
I was hoping this would work for my teenage ACD and save my leather goods from being chewed on. He gnawed on it quietly I was thrilled. But I had to take it from him within a few minutes. Gnawing apparently equals chewing pieces off. Not made for chewers or gnawers. It seemed to be well made, was soft, was actually a fairly good size and didn’t get gross when it got spitty. Just didn’t work out for Captain chaos destructor of all.
