Plant Information
This one forms a very dense rosette with closely spaced leaves in a spiral arrangement. The older the leaves the redder as an under color with soft white hairs all throughout. New leaves have an aquamarine glow. Nice little symmetrical multicolor effect. Things go more towards green in the heat of summer. Pink flowers rise up on 6″ spikes spring to autumn- whenever it feels like it. Great container plant or small-scale ground cover- this one multiplies very fast by offsets. Baby you’ve come a long way. Rich, well-drained soil with light but consistent summer moisture. Rock walls, troughs, winter containers.
