Stonecrops are ideal for green rooftops. In areas where green rooftops are prevalent, Stonecrops are beginning to replace grasses as the primary source of plant material. Additionally, these plants are known for their succulent leaves, which are primarily used for water storage. The succulent leaves provide better fire hazard protection because a Stonecrop covered rooftop has such a high concentration of water compared to grass covered roofs.
