Sempervivum 'Green Disk'



A cultivar that grew fairly lush and leafy in the greenhouse. Grown outside it become more compact and developed red tips to the leaves. I was sent it as 'Green Disc' but 'Green Disk' is the correct spelling.

Horst Diehm said:

"smaller, velvety rosettes in olive green with small brown tips"

Erwin Geiger is quoted on Sempervivum List:

"An English S. grandiflorum hybrid by Howard J. Wills. Smaller, velvety rosettes in olive green that smell of resin!"

Howard and Sally Wills say:

"UK - small flattened rosettes of olive green leaves with small dark apical spot."
