The cliff-dwelling stonecrop, Hylotelephium cauticola makes a striking feature in late summer and autumn when masses of flat, deep-pink flowerheads appear on the sprawling glaucous stems, which are themselves tinged with pink. Its flowers are extremely attractive to late-flying butterflies and bees.

This versatile sedum can be grown in a number of locations, including coastal gardens, pots and containers, green roofs, at the front of borders, in alpine gardens or hanging over walls.

For best results grow Hylotelephium cauticola in full sun in well-drained soil. Divide clumps every few years to improve flowering. It holds the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
