Notes
'Chocolate Cherry' october daphne (Hylotelephium 'Chocolate Cherry') is a perennial for borders, containers, rock gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. Its purple to pink flowers attract butterflies, bees, and birds. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It is drought tolerant, so it suits dry spots.
Pairs well with Blue grama, Poppy mallow, and Gladiator ornamental onion.
