This succulent is very showy in a rock garden.  The lime-green leaves in the centre of each rosette are a nice contrast to the red outside leaves.  I really like this variety of Sempervivium.  It provides colour to the rock garden when most other rock garden plants are long done blooming.

Will slowly spread to form a patch measuring 12" across.  Like other Sempervivium, produces a bizarre-looking flower spike with star-shaped blooms in mid-summer.

I'm guessing hardy to zone 3.

Glen's score:  8.
