Sedum dielsii

A small stonecrop from the mountains of central China (southern Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, Hubei area), recorded mostly at roughly 450–1,100 m. It lives through cold, dry winters with frost and hot, wet summers, so it wants full sun, very sharp drainage and a cold, dry winter rest.

Where it grows wild

Little is published for this species; like most Chinese Sedum it is expected on rock faces, stony slopes and thin soil over rock in open or lightly wooded mountain country.

The recorded sites sit at about 460–1,120 m; few records carry their own elevation, so the true range may extend higher.
