Sedum suaveolens

A Mexican Sedum that forms flat, pale, powdery rosettes much like an Echeveria and bears fragrant white flowers. It comes from rocky slopes and cliffs in the northern Mexican highlands, so it wants bright light, sharp drainage and a cool, dry winter.

Where it grows wild

A rosette-forming lithophyte on rock faces and steep rocky slopes in the dry highlands of northern Mexico; plants on cliffs get some shade part of the day. Habitat detail is generalised from what is known for the species and its relatives.

Not recorded in the data; the single climate site sits at about 1,300 m, and Mexican highland Sedum mostly grow between 1,200 and 2,500 m.
