Sedum oregonense

A small rosette-forming stonecrop with waxy green leaves and yellow flowers, native to rocky ground in the Klamath Ranges and Cascades of southern Oregon and northern California. It is a true montane plant: snow-covered or near freezing in winter, bone dry and sunny in late summer. It does best grown outdoors in a cold-climate rock garden or trough, and poorly as a warm indoor plant.
