Sedum emarginatum

A low, creeping stonecrop of eastern and central China with small spoon-shaped leaves notched at the tip, forming mats on damp, partly shaded rocks and banks. It comes from a humid monsoon climate with hot wet summers and cool, drier winters, so it wants more moisture and less sun than most dryland Sedum.
