Woodland stonecrop is distinguished by its evergreen, succulent foliage, with leaves often arranged in whorls of three around the stem. These shiny, bright green leaves typically grow to about 0.5–1 inch (1.3–2.5 cm) long. The plant forms a low, spreading mat, reaching up to 6 inches (15 cm) in height, and can sprawl outward to about 12 inches (30 cm) wide. In spring, woodland stonecrop produces clusters of star-shaped, white flowers, which rise slightly above the foliage on delicate stems.
