Raised by Ed Skrocki in the USA in 1977. The suggestion that this is more spherical than usual has always seemed unhelpful, though the name is memorable -
and the plant? Let's just admit that I looked up my notes from the time and found I hadn't made any. Erwin Geiger is quoted on Sempervivum List: "The American hybrid conjures up bright red rosettes with white ciliated foliage. In culture since 1977 and yet hardly known!" He was struggling to come up with a description as well. Mountain Crest Gardens say: "A lovely open rosette with a metallic sheen. It tends to show red and silvery green with coppery overtones and has fine cilia lining its leaves." The AGS online encyclopedia says: "Very compact, small, flat rosettes of pinkish brown. The glabrous leaves are ciliate." |
