Description
Cream-edged green leaves give Hylotelephium Frosted Fire a clean, variegated look before rosy pink flower heads rise over the dense, upright clump in late summer and early fall. The blooms draw bees and butterflies, while the dried seedheads can remain for winter interest.
Use this hardy perennial in sunny borders, gravel gardens, or containers. It grows best in moderately fertile, well-drained soil and needs little water once established. Cut stems back after flowering, or leave them standing through winter and remove them as new growth appears in spring.
