Notes

'Stardust' ice plant (Hylotelephium spectabile 'Stardust') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, rock gardens, and containers. 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. It is not a favorite of rabbits, though hungry rabbits will eat almost anything. White flowers draw butterflies, bees, and birds. This clumping plant also tolerates drought and salt.

Pairs well with Blonde Ambition blue grama, Hairy aster, and Carlton daffodil.
