Sedum candolleanum

A tiny high-mountain stonecrop of the Iberian ranges and the Pyrenees, recorded mostly around 2,000 to 2,500 m on acidic rock. It is a short-lived, cold-adapted plant that wants full sun, cool summers, a frozen winter and gritty soil that is damp in spring but never waterlogged.
