This plant is a very common Hylotelephium. It is frequently confused with either H. spectabile or H. telephium. While originaly known from culture, it frequently naturalizes like the other H. species, making it relevant as a taxon on iNat. It can be identified by flowers lacking male parts.

@abounabat Can you help please?

Is it really a distinct hybrid from H. maximum x telephium = H. x bergeri ? https://www.ipni.org/n/77118553-1

Yes, it involves Hylotelephium spectabile

Thank you for adding it.

Thanks again for adding it, it has been a huge help. The Genus is a mess with thousands of misidentifications of this hybrid as various other species. Ive made 1600 IDs so far, but still a long way to go. Can you please add Hylotelephium telephium ssp. maximum × spectabile as a synonym for this.
People seem to be looking for this more under that name since thats how wikipedia lists it and ill have less explainations to do.
