Sedum telephium, Linn. Orpine. Live-forever. Perennial: sts. erect, 12-18 in. high: lvs. scattered, rarely opposite, 2 – 3 x 1-1 1/4 in., oblong-ovate, dentate; lower wedge-shaped at base; upper somewhat rounded: fls. numerous, pink, red-spotted or sometimes pure white, in dense terminal and lateral, pedunculate cymes; sepals lanceolate; petals lanceolate, 2 – 2 1/2 lines long, somewhat recurved. Cent. Eu. to Siberia and naturalized in N. Amer.(?). (The American material may be another species which it is almost impossible to distinguish horticulturally, namely S. purpureum, Tausch., and which is referred to S. Telephium by many authors.) Var. Borderi, Mast. (Anacampseros Borderi, Jord. & Fourr. S. Borderi, Hort. S. Anacampseros var. Borderi, Hort.), has reddish sts.: lvs. distinctly petioled, oblong, tapering at base: fls. pink, in a flat-topped, corymbose cyme. Var. hybridum, Hort., is offered in the trade. Var. purpurascens, Hort., is offered in the trade. Var. purpureum, Hort. (not to be confused with S. purpureum, Tausch.), is offered in the trade as a purple-lvd. form; very possibly this is the same as S. maximum var. purpureum. Var. rubrum, Hort., is offered in the trade.—The species and all of its varieties are excellent border and garden plants, also well adapted to the richer parts of the rock-garden. A very variable and confusing species. CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
