Hylotelephium ewersii (syn. Sedum ewersii), the pink Mongolian stonecrop or pink sedum, is a species of flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae.[2][3] It is native to the high mountains of Asia, including the Altai, Tian Shan, and western Himalayas, and it has been introduced elsewhere, particularly to Scandinavia.[1] A deciduous perennial reaching 15 cm (6 in), it is typically found in forests or in rocky crevices in ravines at elevations from 1,800 to 2,500 m (5,900 to 8,200 ft).[2][4] With its pink flowers and succulent blue‑gray leaves, and hardy to USDA zone 2, it has found use as a ground cover.[5]
