Synonyms: Hylotelephium telephium 'Xenox'
Family: Crassulaceae, often crossed with the closely related Hylotelephium spectabile to create hybrids such as 'Autumn Joy'
Origin/Distribution: Europe, Russia, and northern China, has started to establish in England and North America
Habitat: Fields, near hedges, hilly and sunny sites, woodland edges, gravelly soil, calcareous soil. Hylo means forest or woodland in Greek.
More: The species, Sedum telephium ssp. telephium has been used medicinally. Although 'Xenox' is a cultivar on the short side, I think it might make a good addition to posies either in bud, blooming, or as a dried stem. The long blooming flowers attract pollinators. Excellent in a rock garden (perhaps even a somewhat shady one), container planting, or front of a border. The species has been used medicinally and for love-divination. These darker-leaved cultivars remind me of the phrase "It was a dark and stormy night..."
