Sempervivum 'Royal Ruby'



A good red cultivar, I got it from Trecanna Nursery. Raised by Ed Skrocki in the USA in 1971.

Horst Diehm said:

"5 - 6 cm large, open rosettes, pike grey with ruby red"

Mountain Crest Gardens say:

"A large, crimson rosette with long, slender leaves that can maintain vibrant red tones through the seasons. It is a prolific variety, producing lots of new chicks each spring. It will occasionally show fun red striping down the length of each leaf."
