Notes
Showy stonecrop (Hylotelephium populifolium) is a perennial for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and dry, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and wide, so it fits small spaces. The fragrant flowers attract butterflies. Plant it where you want an easy, tidy clump.
Pairs well with Gold dust, Autumn moor grass, and Elfin mother of thyme.
