Sedum craigii

A rosette Sedum from the Sierra Madre Occidental of northern Mexico, recorded near 1,650 m in the canyon country of southwest Chihuahua. It expects strong light, a long dry spring, a summer monsoon and cool, dry winter nights, which you can copy with a gritty mix and seasonal watering.
