Sempervivum 'Pink Cloud'



A red blushed cultivar with cobwebbed leaves raised by Ed Skrocki in the USA and introduced in 1988. I bought it from Blackthorn Nursery, their label said:

"Pink and green foliage covered in fine silver hair."

Horst Diehm said:

"approx. 5 cm rosettes, flat, reddish-brown inside, green outside, white ciliated".

Sempervivums by Post say:

"'Pink Cloud' is another variety bred by Edward Skrocki (USA, 1988). Soft appearance. The offsets look like they're "dancing" around the mother plant. Charming."

Mountain Crest Gardens say:

"A medium-sized tufted rosette that flushes strawberry pink in the growing season. With shorter days it will revert back to green. Spring brings plenty of new offsets on pink to orange stolons."
