Sedum kiersteadiae

A stonecrop of the Klamath and Siskiyou mountains in far northern California and southern Oregon, mostly recorded around 1,500–2,000 m. It expects wet, snowy winters and a hot, almost rainless summer in strong sun, so treat it as a cold-hardy alpine rock plant, not a houseplant.

Where it grows wild

Published detail is thin. Klamath Sedum typically grow in rock crevices, cliffs and talus, often on serpentine or other ultramafic rock, in open sun. That habitat is inferred from the genus and the recorded sites.

Recorded from 213 to 2,501 m, median about 1,780 m.
