Sempervivum 'Jungle Fires'



A deep red rosetted cultivar that produces pups on short stolons, the leaves end in a drawn out point. A seedling from 'Jungle Shadows', a number of other cultivars have been raised from the same seed parent which was the darkest Sempervivum known when it was introduced in 1969.
'Jungle Fires' was selected by Kevin Vaughgn in the USA and introduced in 1970.

Horst Diehm said:

"dark red, changes to brown".
