I have an Angelina Stonecrop in my front yard that's about 5' tall now. What's up with that?

Angelina stonecrop is a ground cover, demented, how can it be five ft. tall; you must mean five ft long.

Show us a picture

No, it's almost five foot tall at it's highest point. It may not be Angelina Stonecrop, but it's growing in the center of it. Its spines are thinner than pine needles. The picture I took was from a few weeks ago when it was about three feet. It's grown since then.

Wow, I forgot how small it used to be. It's so wide now you can't see the short stuff any more. I'm going to take another pic.

If it has yellow centers at the end of each stock it is a weed, but kind of hard to tell, it sort of looks like a baby pine tree

It's a monster! It's growing better than all my other plants out front.

It's usually not as limp but I just watered it a little while ago and it doesn't seem to be able to support the extra weight.

You really can't see the Angelina Stonecrop around it?

The "stems" are kind of white and furry looking.

I have the same problem with our Angelina Stonecrop in our front yard. It looks the same, but the center growth on our plant is more symmetrical. We have no idea what it is. If we took pics to show you, it would look almost exactly the same. Contact us: [email protected]

What part of the country are you in Bassplayer54?

We are in Johnstown, PA. The growth is approaching 5 feet tall. We were under the impression this was a "ground cover."

Girl friend has three pictures from her cellphone to my e-mail of the growth in the Angelina Stonecrop plant. I have no idea how to get them from my e-mail to this answer section.

Good to see someone else shares the same problem. I was searching Google images when I found your pictures that matched. Ours is really high, about 5 feet plus. We have another Angelina Stonecrop plant to the right of this one not shown in the picture that is normal.

I sent these pics to the Missouri Botanical Gardens but they were unimpressed. I'm sending yours as well to see if it will spur more interest.
