Clustered Orpine (Hylotelephium telephium), often referred to as Live-forever, Livelong, or Showy Stonecrop, is a succulent perennial known for its fleshy foliage and vibrant flower heads. When planted in groups, Orpine forms striking, dense clusters that enhance its architectural presence in the landscape. These clusters showcase upright, sturdy stems topped with broad, dome-shaped flower clusters in shades of pink, rose, or burgundy. The leaves are thick, slightly serrated, and arranged oppositely along the stems, with coloration that may vary from blue-green to purplish tones.

Native to Europe and temperate regions of Asia, clustered Orpine naturally thrives in rocky meadows, open woodlands, and dry slopes. Its robust growth habit, late-summer blooming period, and high nectar production make it a valuable pollinator plant. In grouped plantings, it serves as a bold, textural accent in perennial borders, cottage gardens, or wildflower beds, offering visual continuity and seasonal color well into autumn.
