Sedum chauveaudii

A montane Sedum of western Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou (one record from Nepal), growing roughly 2,100–2,900 m up in the monsoon-fed Hengduan mountains. It wants a cool, wet summer and a cold, dry, frosty winter, which suits an alpine house or outdoor trough better than a windowsill.
