What is Hylotelephium sieboldii

Hylotelephium sieboldii October daphne, October plant or misebaya (scientific name: Hylotelephium sieboldii) is a succulent lodging plant native to Japan, belonging to the family Crassulaceae. It is one of the classical garden plants cultivated since the Manyo period (710-794) under the name of "Tama-no-o." It is cultivated all over Japan, and is an anecdote. It is cultivated all over Japan, and some of its outcrops have become wild. It is said to grow naturally on Shodoshima Island in Kagawa Prefecture and in Nara Prefecture. The fleshy leaves are ovate, thick, and silvery-green with red, loosely wavy serrations at the margins.
From October to November, it produces spherical flowers in clusters of numerous small reddish-purple, star-shaped flowers in diffuse inflorescences at the tips of the flower stalks. The flowers are followed by a fruit in a pouch. The leaves turn red in autumn and the above-ground parts die in winter, leaving the underground stem and dormant buds to overwinter.
