It turns more & more rose colored in the winter, the entire leaf will turn the color of the tips in my photo.

2 weeks ago this plant was mostly green with red tips!! Now it appears to be going the other way.

This plant feels heavy for its tiny size, very compact

I noticed there is no hybridizer or year listed for S. 'Leneca'
According to "Squaw Mountain Gardens" website and also http://www.sempervivum.info/li... this info should be
Gustaaf van der Steen, 1984
Thanks

Moss green with purple edging

This is one of those basic green semps with dark colored tips, but by no means a run of the mill green semp. It has such a beautiful form to the rosette and the green changes from a very chartreuse green to a lovely bright green. Depending on the time of the year it has greater or lesser amounts of brown/red leave edges and tips.
A very pleasing sempervivum for containers or beds.

A species sempervivum given the name of the person that first collected it, Joseph Claudius Pittoni.

A fuzzy teddy bear of a semp, it has such a lovely feel when you gently move your finger over the leaves.

Another year-round beauty in the sempervivum world.
Lovely velvety texture to the leaves year round, with unusual color.

In the summer months this is easily mistaken for S. 'Pacific Mauve,' but the differences appear in fall.

Nice production of offsets in growing season.
Handles both our Pacific Northwest rainy season and our very long period of drought in summer.

Another favorite of mine.

This is a lovely semp that goes through some very nice color variations throughout the year.
Neither drought nor months of rain seem to bother this sempervivum. I have not had any problems with rot (rainy season) or excessive leaf die-off from 3 1/2 months of drought.

This sempervivum gives year-round color if kept in full sun throughout the year. Handles long periods of drought without much loss of leaves.

Also went through our very long and wet rainy season of about 4 months without any problems with rot.

It's full beauty comes out as a two year old rosette. This has become one of my favorite semps year round.

This semp has been in my collection for a full year now. It is one of the largest in the collection at about 10" across the largest rosette.
It has not had any problems with rot during winter/spring rainy season, or dehydration in our over 3 months of drought.

I love this tiny sempervivum. I have had it for one full year now. Nothing seems to bother it once it gets its roots into the ground.
Heavy winter/spring rains didn't slow it down (no rot), nor did our 2 month long drought cause any harm to this colony of sempervivum.
What more can you ask for?
