Hylotelephium maximum, a tall stonecrop relative, is a robust succulent-leaved perennial that performs best in well-drained soil with partial shade to full sun exposure. Water regularly but allow the soil to partially dry between waterings, as overwatering can cause root rot. It is an easy-care, late-season bloomer that adds structure to borders and is attractive to pollinators.
