Notes

'Crystal Pink' ice plant (Hylotelephium spectabile 'Crystal Pink') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Rabbits tend to pass it by. Soft pink blooms appear in summer and again in autumn.
