Stonecrop Gardens is closed for visitation and will reopen on Saturday, April 1, 2023.  During the closed season we will be busy putting the garden to bed; digging up tender perennials to over-winter in the greenhouses, planting bulbs for our spring display, mulching the Woodland Garden, and collecting and cleaning seeds for our Index Seminum and Rarium which will be available online in late February.
We look forward to seeing you in the spring.  Our open days are Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and one select Sunday a month.  Reservations are not required for weekdays.  However, in an effort to maintain the peaceful environment of the garden, we ask that you register on our website for Saturday and Sunday visitation.  
Stonecrop Gardens is located in Cold Spring, New York and was originally the home of Anne and Frank Cabot. Stonecrop became a public garden in 1992 under the direction of Caroline Burgess.

ConservatoryAt its windswept elevation of 1,100 feet in the Hudson Highlands Stonecrop enjoys a Zone 6a climate. The gardens cover an area of approximately 15 acres and comprise a diverse collection of gardens and plants including woodland and water gardens, a grass garden, raised alpine stone beds, cliff rock gardens, and an enclosed English-style flower garden. Additional features include a Conservatory, display Alpine House, Pit House with an extensive collection of choice dwarf bulbs, and systematic order beds representing over 50 plant families. Stonecrop’s plant collections and display gardens not only demonstrate what can be achieved by horticultural enthusiasts, but also serve as an educational resource which, together with its professional staff, constitute the foundation upon which is based a developing School of Practical Horticulture.

(P) to 6′. One of the darkest leaved Cimicifugas. Stems are a rich purplish brown with pure white, upright, fragrant flower spikes in September. Not all seedlings will be as dark as ‘Brunette’, but definitely worth a try. Partial shade. 3 & 6A
