Sedum cyprium
A small monocarpic stonecrop endemic to the Troodos Mountains of Cyprus, growing in rock fissures on gabbro and schist. It dies after flowering in its first or second year, so collectors keep it going from seed; it wants full sun, a cold wet winter and a hot, bone-dry summer.
Where it grows wild
Shallow, free-draining soil in fissures of weathered gabbro and schist, sunny scree and steep rock faces wetted by seasonal runoff, under at most a thin scatter of pines and junipers.
Mostly about 850–1,500 m in the central Troodos, with odd plants to about 1,650 m on north-facing crags; the measured sites sit at about 1,000–1,700 m.
