Sedum flavidum

A northern California stonecrop of the Klamath and North Coast Ranges, mostly found at 1,000-2,000 m on rocky ground. It needs a cold, wet winter and a hot, bone-dry summer, so it suits an unheated alpine house or a rock garden in a Mediterranean-type climate far better than indoor culture.

Where it grows wild

Records cluster in the mountains of Trinity, Humboldt and Siskiyou counties. Like its relatives in the Klamath region, it most likely grows on rock outcrops, cliffs and talus, often on serpentine or other thin, rocky soils; this is inferred from the genus and region.

Recorded from 30 to 2,155 m, median about 1,400 m.
