Sedum lanceolatum

A small mat-forming stonecrop of sunny rock outcrops, gravel and talus across the Rocky Mountains and interior West, from foothills to above treeline. It needs a hard, dry winter freeze and intense summer sun; it is short-lived and sulky in warm, humid or shaded conditions.

Where it grows wild

Open rocky slopes, granite outcrops, scree and gravelly meadows in montane to alpine zones, usually in full exposure with little competing vegetation.

Recorded from near sea level in the far north to 3,850 m in Colorado; the median of 2,320 m reflects its core in the southern Rockies.
