MaintenanceIf your plants flop or opens up because of the growing conditions I have found that cutting the plants back 50% by the end of May will result in a more compact plant. Cutting down the stiff dead stalks in the late fall is a matter of choice. Some people like the dead brown plant for winter interest.
PropagationVery easy from cuttings or divided in the spring. When dividing the plant be careful, the new stems are easily damaged.
Cultivar OriginFound as a seedling of Hylotelephium Meteor at Monksilver Nursery UK.
Author's NotesI have this plant growing in my garden and appreciate the compact smaller growth habit. During the spring of 2017 I lifted and divided the plants. Neighboring trees were creating to much shade and the plant was flopping. Will plant in a full, hot sun site.
