Sempervivum 'Wolcotts Variety'



A soft brown rosetted cultivar with a dense, clustering habit. Also distributed as 'Woolcott's Variety'. Raised by Helen Payne in the USA and released in 1980.

In their 1982 catalogue Alpine Gardens in Dallas wrote:

"Light green slender leaves with rose-pink at base of leaves. Large."

Horst Diehm said:

"large rosettes, open, light green, base pink"

Erwin Geiger is quoted on Sempervivum List:

"Very large, olive to grey-green rosettes with strikingly long leaves. The centre shines in pink and salmon tones during the warm season. "

Mountain Crest Gardens say:

"Lovely shades of pink and silvery green that shift to more purple tones during cooler seasons. This variety grows large and can develop into a sizable clump after a a couple years."
