Sedum leptophyllum

A slender-leaved stonecrop of the humid lowlands and hills of eastern China, recorded mainly from Anhui, Zhejiang and Jiangxi. It lives with hot, wet summers and mild, still fairly damp winters, so it is easier than most sedums to keep in a humid climate as long as the mix drains fast.

Where it grows wild

Little has been published on its habitat; like related East Asian Sedum it most likely grows on rocks, mossy boulders and thin soil on hillsides and in valleys, in sun or partial shade.

Measured sites are mostly low, from about 30 to 180 m, although a few records come from higher ground in western Sichuan.
