Sedum drymarioides

A small, soft, glandular-hairy annual or short-lived Sedum from the warm-temperate lowlands of southern and eastern China, Taiwan and Japan. Unlike most stonecrops it grows on shaded, damp rocks rather than in hot sun, so it wants bright shade, steady moisture and a cool but frost-free winter. It is short-lived; keep it going by letting it self-sow.

Where it grows wild

Grows on moist, shaded rock faces, wet ledges and mossy stone banks in lowland and hill forest margins and ravines. This comes from regional floras for the species and from the habit of the shade-loving Asian annual Sedum group.

Mostly low hills and valleys; the measured sites sit at about 20–125 m, and the species is reported mainly below about 1000 m.
