Sedum commixtum

A little-documented Sedum known only from high mountains of the Sierra Sur in Oaxaca, recorded around 2,550–3,170 m. It lives in a cool, bright, frost-touched climate with a sharp dry winter and a wet summer, so it wants strong light, cold nights and a dry winter rest rather than warm windowsill conditions.

Where it grows wild

Recorded from a small area of high pine-oak country in southern Oaxaca. Like most Mexican montane sedums it most likely grows on rock outcrops, cliffs or thin soil pockets in open forest; species-specific habitat notes were not found.

Records span 2,550–3,173 m with a median of 3,170 m, which puts it in the cool upper montane zone.
