Plants of the world online says: A charming, small rosetted spreading subspecies from Austria. "The native range of this subspecies is Austria. It is a succulent perennial and grows primarily in the temperate biome." World of Succulents online says: "Sempervivum montanum subsp. stiriacum is a small succulent that forms tight rosettes of fleshy, hairy, dull green leaves with a pointed dark red to maroon-brown tip. It is distinguished from Sempervivum montanum subsp. montanum by its slightly narrower leaves. The rosettes can reach a diameter of 2 inches (5 cm) and produce offsets on short stolons, forming dense mats. In summer, the mature rosettes bear clusters of starry purple-pink flowers on erect, scaly-leaved stalks. The flowers have conspicuous white highlights. The rosettes die after flowering." |
