Where it grows wild

Recorded mainly in the pine, pine-oak and fir zone of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, where Sedum of this kind grow on volcanic rock, lava flows and thin soil in clearings and open woodland.

Records span 34-4,370 m, but the median is about 2,700 m and most lie at 2,300-3,100 m.
