Sedum atratum
A tiny, usually annual stonecrop of the European high mountains, often flushed dark red, that lives a single short alpine summer on rocks, scree and thin turf. At home it is grown from seed each year in full sun and a cool, very free-draining gritty mix; the challenge is keeping summer nights cool, not keeping a plant alive through winter.
Where it grows wild
Open alpine and subalpine rock outcrops, scree, crevices and thin stony grassland, largely on calcareous rock in the Alps, Pyrenees and other southern European ranges.
Recorded from 520 to 3087 m with a median of 2150 m; mostly a plant of the subalpine and alpine belts.
