Hylotelephium telephium subsp. ruprechtii 'Hab Gray'
Stonecrop (Hylotelephium telephium subsp. ruprechtii 'Hab Gray') is a perennial succulent that grows in upright, fleshy clumps and produces bright pink flowers in late summer and autumn. This low-maintenance plant is drought-tolerant and doesn't need much watering or fertilizing to thrive. Its round, green-blue foliage adds interesting texture to gardens and rockeries, and it looks great in mixed borders, along pathways, or planted in containers. It's also great for attracting pollinators like butterflies and bees, and its blossom-filled stems provide food for songbirds. Stonecrop's low-growing, evergreen leaves remain colorful all year round.

watering
Stonecrop (Hylotelephium telephium subsp. ruprechtii 'Hab Gray') is a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant perennial plant typically grown in sunny or partially-shaded areas. It prefers dry soil and is generally not over-watered, as this can cause rot. However, it will need to be watered weekly or bi-weekly, depending on how dry its soil is. Generally, about 1-2 inches of water should be applied around its base. During the hottest summer months, it may require water every 4-5 days, while in the cooler winter months, it may only require water every 12-14 days.
sunlight
Stonecrop (Hylotelephium telephium subsp. ruprechtii 'Hab Gray') thrives in full sun for optimal health and flowering. It should typically receive 6 or more hours per day of direct sunlight. It also tolerates part shade, though the flowering time will be reduced and the blooms may be smaller. The plants will survive with as little as 3-4 hours of sun each day, though they won't reach their full potential.
pruning
Stonecrop (Hylotelephium telephium subsp. ruprechtii 'Hab Gray') should be pruned in early spring. Careful pruning of the plant’s woody stems will encourage new growth. It involves lightly cutting back the flowering stems to a few inches above the basal rosette of leaves. This will also help to keep its shape and reinvigorate the plant. After the initial pruning, stonecrop can be lightly sheared or cut back again to maintain its shape and shape during the growing season.
