Sedum majus

A little-known Chinese stonecrop from the humid hill and mountain country of Sichuan, Hubei, Chongqing and Shaanxi, mostly between 600 and 1,750 m. It is generalised from similar central Chinese sedums of shaded, moist rocks: give it bright shade, warm wet summers and a cool, drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Specific habitat notes are scarce. Central Chinese sedums from this region typically grow on moss-covered rocks, cliffs and stream banks in forest or at forest edges.

Only six records carry an elevation (600-1,750 m, median 950 m). Points in Tibet and Hebei suggest it may range more widely.
