The cliff-dwelling stonecrop, Hylotelephium cauticola 'Coca-Cola' makes a striking feature in late summer and autumn when masses of flat, deep-pink flowerheads appear on the sprawling glaucous stems, which are themselves tinged with pink. Its flowers are extremely attractive to late-flying butterflies and bees.

This versatile sedum can be grown in a number of locations, including coastal gardens, pots and containers, green roofs, at the front of borders, in alpine gardens or hanging over walls.

For best results grow Hylotelephium cauticola 'Coca-Cola' in full sun in well-drained soil. Divide clumps every few years to improve flowering.
