Sempervivum ‘Oddity’ is totally tubular! An unusual, low-growing, succulent, evergreen perennial with tubular leaves. Growing from a rosette, the leaves are light, shiny green with a purple rim around the hole at the end.

This hardy sempervivum variety is unique with tube shaped green leaves that are dipped in bright red. Perfect for containers, rock gardens, as a ground cover, or anywhere else you can imagine.

There is nothing actually odd about this über-hardy succulent with its rolled leaves and cute little pink flowers. Clumping yet spreading, try this in the ground or in a container. Either way, hardy well below zero.
