Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Sempervivum ‘Pacific Plum Fuzzy’ features striking, extra fuzzy rosettes that offset freely, forming mounding clumps. The small, plump leaves are covered in cilia, and shift from green with salmon orange to pink margins, to bold plum red in the cooler months.

Plum-colored 3” fuzzy-licious rosettes create a lovely low maintenance groundcover for filling in even the tightest nooks & crannies. HARDY TO ZONE 4 & super drought tolerant. A great choice for hard-to-water areas or near plants that can’t take Summer water. Makes a lovely container specimen that you’ll love to stroke. Gorgeous hot-pink bee-attracting clusters of 1/2” flowers in Summer. Fertilize at least once a year for best growth. Spreads slowly but surely over time to fill in as much space as it is given. Avoid over-watering & provide excellent drainage for a happy plant. Best color is in full sun, but in hotter climates the wee darlings prefer a bit of shade.
