Sedum cepaea
A small, bushy annual or biennial stonecrop with pink-white star flowers, unusual among sedums for preferring part shade and fairly moist ground. In the wild it germinates in autumn, overwinters as a small leafy plant and flowers in early summer before dying, so collectors keep it going from its own seed.
Where it grows wild
Grows on woodland edges, hedgebanks, old walls and shady rocky slopes, usually where the soil stays somewhat moist. It is a plant of half shade rather than of exposed rock.
Recorded from 32 to 1,290 m, median about 370 m; mostly lowland and foothill sites in France.
