Rhodiola pachyclados

... that the gray stonecrop (pictured) was a horticultural footnote in the 1970s but became so popular by the 1990s that demand exceeded supply?

Source: "I can think of no other stonecrop which, in a single decade, has become so widespread in cultivation. In the 1970s the name was only found in scientific journals. Today hundreds of plants are being propagated, and the demand is greater than the supply." Stephenson 1994, p. 299

ALT1: ... that the gray stonecrop (pictured) was little-known outside scientific literature in the 1970s but became so popular by the 1990s that demand exceeded supply? Source: Stephenson 1994, p. 299

Comment: ALT1 is more straightforward, but I think ALT0 might be more interesting.

This article, more than 5x expanded on 15 Feb, is new enough, long enough, well-sourced (The Royal Horticultural Society seems reliable) and copyvio-free. Hooks interesting and in article, with an offline citation accepted in good faith. I have no preference between ALT0 and ALT1. Image free and legible at low res. QPQ provided. Good to go.
