Hylotelephium telephioides is a flowering plant in the stonecrop family Crassulaceae. Its common names include Allegheny stonecrop and live-forever. Its native range in the USA extends from Georgia to Illinois and New York, and it has introduced populations in Ontario.[1] In the wild, it is found on rock outcrops, especially at moderate to high elevations.[2]
