Sempervivum 'Silver Shadow'



An attractive grey rosetted cultivar with red shades and a silvery bloom on the leaves that gives the plant an impressive shine. Raised by Sue Rowe in the UK in 1999.

Volkmar Schara is quoted on Sempervivum List:

"Sempervivum 'Silver Shadow' forms beautiful rosettes that have a cool basic colour. The broad leaves with the dark red leaf edges have a very special effect. They form dense cushions and sprout well."
