Phedimus sichotensis (formerly Sedum sichotensis) is a perennial of the Crassulaceae family, native to the Sikhote-Alin mountain range in the Russian Far East, where it grows on rocks and rocky slopes.
It forms a spreading and fairly dense clump, reaching 8 to 15 cm in height, with upright to slightly arched stems. The leaves are obovate to spatulate, with toothed margins, a bright green during the beautiful season. In autumn, they adorn themselves with remarkable shades ranging from orange to bright red, offering an unexpected chromatic spectacle for a Crassulaceae, and thus constituting the main attraction of the plant.
The flowers are yellow, star-shaped, gathered in terminal corymbs. In its natural habitat, its flowering extends from July to August. In cultivation, it generally occurs at the same period.
It requires full sun to express its autumn colors, in well-drained soil, dry to moderately fresh. Hardy and undemanding, it is suitable for rock gardens and mineral compositions.
