Notes
'Touchdown Teak' stonecrop (Hylotelephium maximum 'Touchdown Teak') 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 has glossy red-burgundy foliage, upright red stems, and large pink flower heads. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. The compact habit suits containers and the front of the border.
