Sedum dasyphyllum
A tiny, mat-forming stonecrop with blue-grey bead-like leaves from the western Mediterranean and southern Alps, where it grows in rock crevices, old walls and screes. It wants full sun, a gritty mineral mix, cold dry-ish winters and good airflow; it is frost hardy but rots quickly in warm, wet, stagnant conditions.
Where it grows wild
Grows in rock crevices, cliff faces, screes and old stone walls, often on limestone or volcanic tuff, in open sunny positions with little soil.
Recorded from near sea level to about 2,300 m, median around 760 m; the plant spans lowland Mediterranean walls to subalpine rock.
