Sedum leibergii

A yellow-flowered stonecrop of the inland Pacific Northwest, growing on basalt and other rock outcrops in the Columbia Plateau, Blue Mountains and the canyons of the Snake and Salmon rivers. It grows through a wet, cool winter and spring, flowers in late spring, and dries out in the hot, almost rainless summer, so it suits growers who can give it full sun and a dry summer.
