Hylotelephium ewersii

A low, mat-forming stonecrop with rounded blue-green leaves and pink flower heads, from the mountains of Central Asia, the Himalaya and southern Siberia. It is fully frost-hardy and dies back to the ground each winter, so it grows best outdoors in a sunny rock garden or trough, not indoors.
