Hylotelephium telephioides

wild live forever, stonecrop (Sedum telephioides)

Sometimes called wild live-forever, this plant has earned its name. It's great for those sunny, dry places where nothing else seems to survive, but also perfectly at home in average garden soil. Its succulent leaves are a surprising sight in the Northeast!
