Hylotelephium anacampseros

Hylotelephium anacampseros is a low, trailing stonecrop of sunny siliceous rocks in the western Alps and Pyrenees, mostly between 1,500 and 2,700 m. It spends winter cold and dormant under snow and grows through a short, cool, sunny summer. It is an outdoor rock-garden plant that needs a real winter chill, full sun and lime-free, fast-draining grit.
