Sedum stenopetalum

A low stonecrop with narrow, keeled leaves and starry yellow flowers. It grows on dry rocky ground across the interior Pacific Northwest, from sagebrush steppe to subalpine ridges, and some forms make little leafy buds in the leaf axils that drop and root. It needs full sun, a hot dry summer and a cold winter.
