Sedum assyriacum

A small Near Eastern Sedum from Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, placed with the Semperviveae group that includes many winter-growing annual or short-lived species. It grows in the cool wet winter and spring and must escape a brutally hot, rainless summer, so grow it cool and bright in winter and keep it dry in summer.
