Notes
'Chocolate Drop' stonecrop (Hylotelephium maximum 'Chocolate Drop') is a perennial for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average soil of most types. It grows slowly to 6 to 12 inches tall and bears rose-pink blooms that attract butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. The plant is drought tolerant, so it suits low maintenance beds.
Pairs well with Spotted beebalm, Catnip, Heather, and Queen of Night tulip.
