Succulent rosettes with sharply tipped green and burgandy leaves. Excellent for the rock garden or niches here and there. Off-sets to form small colonies and blooms in the summer. Sun to part shade. Occasional summer water for best appearance but these are quite drought tolerant. Frost hardy to at least -30 °F, USDA zone 4, so no winter worries
