Sedum rubens
A small annual stonecrop, a few centimetres tall, from the Mediterranean and western Europe. It turns red as it ripens. It germinates in autumn, grows through the mild, wet winter and spring, flowers in early summer and then dies, so it is grown from seed each year.
Where it grows wild
It grows in open, sunny, dry spots with thin soil: rock outcrops, sandy or gravelly ground, old walls and disturbed places. The habitat is inferred from the records and from what is typical of annual Mediterranean Sedum.
Recorded from near sea level to 1,700 m, median about 390 m.
