Hylotelephium hybrids edit

Those cultivars marked agm have been given an Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society.[1]

  • 'Bertram Anderson' agm[2] - very similar to "Vera Jameson," and with the same parentage, this is a newer and "improved" version of this cross (rose-red)
  • ’Carl’ agm[3] - rose-pink
  • 'Dazzleberry' - Parentage unknown. Patented.
  • 'Herbstfreude' agm[4] - This hybrid is also known in English as "Autumn Joy," which is a literal translation from the German. It is a hybrid between Sedum telephium and H. spectabile. It is self-sterile, as it exhibits female flower parts only
  • ’Marchant’s Best Red’ agm[5] - deep reddish pink
  • ’Matrona’ agm[6] - pale pink flowers
  • ’Mr Goodbud’ (PBR) agm[7] - pink-purple: breeder’s rights protect this cultivar from unauthorised propagation
  • ’Red Cauli’ agm[8] - bright pink
  • ’Ruby Glow’ agm[9] - deep crimson-purple
  • 'Vera Jameson' agm[10] - This is reportedly a natural hybrid discovered in her garden one day by Ms. Jameson. It is said to be a cross between Sedum telephium var. maximum 'Atropurpureum' and H. cauticolum 'Ruby Glow'
