Sedum spectabile aka Hylotelephium spectabile, Butterfly stonecrop. Repotted in early April, and moved to this table. Hopefully out of the reach of whatever was eating chunks of the leaves last year. By June, so in a couple of months has nearly doubled in size.

aka Hylotelephium spectabile, Butterfly stonecrop. Can grow to 18" or slightly more, with pinkish flowers which are attractive to butterflies - prefers bright sun and a well drained (sandy) soil. Despite appearing to be a succulent, it is actually classed as "hardy perennial" and is able to withstand frosts. Bought "on spec" from a very small local plant / garden centre a year or two ago. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hylotelephium_spectabile
