It almost looks like some kind of milkweed. I believe it is a native wildflower. |

| I think of it as a member of the sedum family of plants, of which there are many. Sedums (Sedum) |

| One of the Sedum spectabile cultivars. Most likely 'Autumn Joy'. Not native. |

Iochroma said:Hylotelephiums are NOT Sedums. I grew up knowing this as Sedum spectabile Autumn Joy. In recent years I realised that it has been renamed Sedum herbstfreude. Name changes can be very confusing. https://www.google.com/search?... https://www.google.com/search?... |

| It is not recent; the two genera were separated in the early 1970's. |

Iochroma said:It is not recent; the two genera were separated in the early 1970's. I do not doubt you. In professional botanical circles it was probably common knowledge 50 years ago. I move in amateur gardening circles and only found out about name change in last 15 or so years. Over here on this side of the pond maybe we are more resistant to name changes which are happening all the time. Even now this plant it still often sold in Garden centres under the old name. For those who may not grow it it is an autumn flowering plant much loved by butterflies. |
