About this plant
Hylotelephium 'Dazzleberry' produces broad, flattened clusters of vivid raspberry-pink flowers from late summer into fall, creating a colorful display that attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Thick, succulent leaves are smoky blue-gray with a soft powdery finish, forming a dense, upright mound that remains attractive throughout the growing season. Strong burgundy stems support the abundant flower heads, while the blooms gradually deepen in color and persist into autumn, extending seasonal interest even after flowering.
Developed through modern hybrid breeding, this cultivar was selected for its colorful flowers, sturdy stems, and handsome foliage. It is well suited to borders, pollinator gardens, rock gardens, containers, and mass plantings, where its long-lasting blooms and contrasting foliage provide texture and vibrant late-season color.
