To be specific, it was reclassified to Hylotelephium telephium after genetic sequencing.
I’ve got a lot of this in my yard from the previous owner. It leaves great dry flower heads over winter, provides great visual interest and homes for overwintering insects in the stalks
There’s a distinct possibility I’ve spent two years planting and splitting them on the undeveloped side of our street in addition to the ones for our customers and us.
The beading of the water on the leaves is impressive. Thanks for that photo!
Never saw the plant before relocating to this part of the country, and now it’s one of my favorite plants. It’s hardy, easy, looks great, grows like the dickens but doesn’t spread like a weed. We had some landscaping done and accidentally split a couple of mature plants in moving things around, and now I can’t tell which were the split ones, and which survived whole - they all look great!
This year, I’m putting it everywhere. It can have the whole yard as far as I’m concerned.
Great picture!
Thanks! Another great thing about them is that they are a great forage plant for native bees during the late summer into autumn.
