Zn 3. Pink flowers. Silver-blue scalloped foliage.

One of the more unique Hylotelephium species, this one emerges with grey-blue leaves arranged radially around the stems in whorls of three. Habit is low, mounded, and arching. Pink flowers are late in the season, usually in September to October for me. Great for the front of the rock garden, very well drained soil is essential, but it resents severe dryness during establishment.
