Sedum telephium

Sedum telephium, commonly known as ORpine or live-forever, is a hardy, low-growing perennial succulent plant. It features fleshy, oval leaves that store water, making it drought-tolerant. In late summer to autumn, it produces clusters of star-shaped flowers in shades of pink, purple, or white. This plant thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, often used in rock gardens, borders, and container gardens for its attractive foliage and prolonged flowering. Sedum telephium is valued for its resilience, low maintenance, and ability to thrive in poor soil conditions, making it a popular choice for gardeners seeking hardy, decorative ground cover.
