Plant for sun
This is a delightful variety with rosettes of lime green succulent leaves which have deep burgundy tips. The colour of the tips intensifies and deepens the more sun the plants receive. Stems bearing pink flowers develop in summer from mature rosettes which are a magnet for pollinating insects.
Requires a well-drained soil in full sun. Will tolerate drought when established. Rosettes die after flowering.
Height: 4 - 8 inches / 10 - 20cm
Spread: 4 - 8 inches / 10 - 20cm

Delivery Options
Our web shop is now open for you to browse and make your selection from. Postage and packing charges depend on the total weight of plants you buy. We only send plants out Monday (not Bank Holidays) to Wednesday. This is to avoid packages being left in the postage system over the weekend. Shipping plants and keeping them healthy along the process is an intricate matter. As we care for the plants we sell we deliver them in a way that ensures they have enough to drink and enough protection between our nursery and your home.
