Sempervivum 'Kylie Minogue'



She's'Spinning Around' you know!
Rosettes form small cushions with may narrow, slightly hairy leaves. I got is as part of an exchange with a grower in the Czech Republic. A seedling of S. pittonii raised by Andre Smits in Belgium in 1999 but named by Martin Miklanek in Slovakia and introduced in 2004.

Craigiehall Nursery say:

"Small to medium rosettes in a fresh green with dark brown leaf tips and a slight overall fuzziness.
I'm going to make a sweeping generalisation - men tend to like Kylie Minogue (the singer/performer), women tend to dislike her. And further, I think the plant doen't really match the showgirl image of Kylie, but I'm full of my own opinions!"
