Hylotelephium cauticola
Hylotelephium cauticola, the cliff stonecrop, syn. Sedum cauticola, is a species of flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae, native to Hokkaido, Japan. Growing to 8 cm (3 in) tall by 30 cm (12 in) wide, it is a carpet-forming succulent perennial with trailing stems of pink-tinged grey-green round leaves, and purplish pink star-shaped flowers in autumn.[2][3] The specific epithet cauticola means "growing on cliffs", referring to the plant's favoured habitat.[4] It is grown in rock gardens and alpine gardens in alkaline to neutral soil. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[5] References
