          Yep that looks like it Nick, so stonecrop is a generic term for the sedum family?

            Yes, I think it's just a common name for sedums. I only grow Sedum spectabile (commonly called Ice Plants) and a low-growing one whose species name I don't recall ATM. Pollinators absolutely love the spectabile, there are some really nice ones with purple foliage available but I've heard that bees etc aren't quite as keen on them, whether this is true or not I don't know.
