Sempervivum 'Cornstone'



A large and potentially colourful plant raised by David Ford in the UK and introduced in 1981. My plant remained rather greyish through a couple of years.

Horst Diehm said:

"mahogany-red, large rosettes up to 8 cm, more greenish at the edges, has a brown effect".

Mountain Crest Gardens say:

" Large rich red leaves with apple-green heart. Good strong color."
