Sedum microcarpum

A tiny annual stonecrop of the eastern Mediterranean that germinates with the winter rains, flowers in spring and dies as summer drought sets in. Grow it from seed as a cool-season annual in a sunny, gritty pot.

Where it grows wild

Grows in thin soil on rocks, in crevices and in open garrigue and batha on limestone, in spots that are wet in winter and bake dry in summer.

Records carry few elevations; climate sites range from near sea level in Cyprus to about 720 m in the Judean hills.
