Sedum lydium
A tiny, mat-forming stonecrop from the mountains of western Türkiye, long grown in rock gardens, where it has escaped in Britain, Ireland, Germany and Sweden. It is cold-hardy and likes more moisture than most Sedum: give it sun or light shade and a gritty but never bone-dry mix.
Where it grows wild
It forms low mats of small needle-like leaves on damp rocky ground and in thin soil over rock in the western Anatolian mountains. The habitat detail is general knowledge, not from a species-specific source.
The two climate sites are at 110 m and 1,728 m. Mountain populations are probably the typical ones.
