Hylotelephium telephium
Hylotelephium telephium, commonly known as Orpine or Live-forever, is a resilient succulent-like perennial that stores water in its fleshy leaves and tolerates dry conditions well. Plant it in full sun to light shade in well-draining soil and water only when the top inch of soil feels dry. It requires minimal care, dies back in winter, and reliably returns each spring with attractive late-season blooms beloved by pollinators.
