Sedum blepharophyllum

A small, high-alpine Sedum from western Sichuan, known from only a few collections around 4,000 m. It needs a cold winter, a cool, wet monsoon summer and strong light, which makes it a plant for an alpine house or cold frame rather than a windowsill; many related Hengduan Sedum are short-lived, so save seed.

Where it grows wild

No habitat notes are published; alpine Sedum in the Hengduan Mountains grow on rocks, scree, gravelly slopes and thin turf in open alpine terrain.

Records carry no elevation; the climate site is set at about 4,090 m, typical of the alpine zone in western Sichuan.
