Sedum chrysicaulum is a little-known Mexican stonecrop recorded mainly from the high peaks of the Sierra Madre Oriental in Nuevo León, Coahuila and Tamaulipas, at 2,000-3,700 m. Its climate is high-altitude and sunny: frosty, dry winter nights, mild days and a summer rainy season. Treat it as a hardy, sun-loving alpine sedum.
