Sedum danxiacola

A recently described small stonecrop named for the Danxia red-sandstone landforms of southern China, where it is thought to grow on cliff faces and rock ledges. Almost nothing beyond the original description is published, so this profile is built from the genus and the subtropical monsoon climate of the Danxia region. Treat it like other Asian cliff-dwelling Sedum: bright light, a very fast-draining mix and mild winters.

Where it grows wild

Believed to be a lithophyte on moist, partly shaded red sandstone and conglomerate cliffs in subtropical evergreen forest country. This is inferred from the name and from related Chinese Sedum, not from field records.

No recorded elevations; Danxia landforms in southern China mostly sit at low to middle elevations, roughly 100-800 m.
