Sempervivum tectorum ‘Hart’
check_circle In Stock
Sempervivum tectorum ‘Hart’ is a hardy, offsetting succulent forming broad rosettes of pointed apple-green leaves. The leaf tips and outer foliage can develop attractive red to orange tones, with colour changing according to the season, temperature and amount of sunlight received.
An excellent outdoor succulent for pots, rockeries and shallow bowls. Established plants gradually produce offsets around the main rosette, developing into an attractive clustered display.
