Sempervivum 'Kalinda'



A large growing greyish variety raised by Edward Skrocki in the USA in 1976. With me it was a rather dull brownish grey with a red blush but I have seen pictures of it showing deep red-brown rosettesoutlined with short white hairs.

Horst Diehm says:

"large, pike-grey rosettes, with purple leaf tips"

Mountain Crest Gardens say:

"Medium-sized rosette with satiny leaves. This cultivar shows a nice range of colors through the seasons including copper, olive, red, and purple. It produces new offsets on long stolons and can develop into a lovely clump."

I'm not feeling the love.
