Sedum lutzii

A little-recorded stonecrop from the mountains of western Sichuan, known from a few wild records at roughly 2,300–3,000 m. Its home has a bright, bone-dry, frosty winter and a cool, wet monsoon summer, so treat it as a hardy montane Sedum that grows in summer and rests dry and cold in winter.

Where it grows wild

Very little is published about its habitat. Montane Sedum of western Sichuan usually grow on rocky slopes, cliffs and thin soil over rock in open scrub or grassland, and this profile assumes the same.

The measured sites lie at about 2,300–3,000 m. Few records carry their own elevation.
