Sempervivum 'Rotund'



A good name insofar as it implies short and fat, which this certainly was. Not so good in the implication of roundness, there are a few other Sempervivum with round rosettes. For me it remained more or less green and didn't do anything else to inspire me. Eventually I gave it away and haven't missed it.
Raised by Ed Skrocki in the USA and circulated in 1980.
