A grey shaded cultivar that can turn very dark in bright light. I got it from Trecanna Nursery.
Raised by Bill Nixon in the USA and introduced in 1972. Horst Diehm said: "up to 12 cm large, pointed rosettes, purple violet, dark leaf tips, flower height 12 cm Erwin Geiger is quoted on Sempervivum Liste: "Star-shaped, large rosettes - difficult to describe in color: gray, lavender, bluish and violet-purple. An American hybrid from the 70s." Mountain Crest Gardens say: " A silvery, blue-green rosette that blushes pink to burgundy when stressed by sun, drought, or cold winters. This is a large grower and it can show wavy "watermarks" of natural wax on its foliage." |
