Hylotelephium spectabile 'Brilliant'
Hylotelephium spectabile 'Brilliant' was previously know as Sedum spectabile 'Brilliant' and I can't get used to its new name yet, so I am still calling it Sedum - sorry. Hylotelephium (if I type it enough times maybe I will get used to it) is a deciduous perennial with grey green, succulent type stems and leaves. Flowers appear about the foliage and their a masses of tiny little star shaped flowers formed in a dome shape. They are great for bringing colour to the garden later summer and early autumn. They are also loved by bees.
