Description
Hylotelephium spectabile is known also as showy stonecrop, sedum spectabile, and ice plant. It is a perennial plant perfect for a xeriscape garden, which is one using very little water. In my garden are specimens which have been returning year after year since the early 1940's. They were grown by my great grandmother in the same planters I have in my yard now. They are my favorite heirlooms.
From late summer through early fall sedum attracts butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and other pollinators with its profusion of pink blossoms, but in spring it attracts me with its architectural, translucent leaves which play with the sunlight in such magnificent ways.
