Was there a photo Marilyn? You can prune out the dead stalks so it will look tidier. Next year it will jump up from the ground and delight you with it's growth.
Each year the clump will get larger.

OOPs,

I forgot to upload it.

Wahoooo. It is so cute and healthy looking Marilyn.
Yes, it would look much nicer with those dead sticks gently cut away.

Suppose to warm up to the 70s tomorrow, so will try to get it done.

Marilyn,nice & healthy looking plant.Good luck with it!

Lynn,The bed in your picture it's in your yard?One thing it's beautiful,another thing i noticed your in zone 8b,I'm 8a.I am slowly putting a rock garden together and i do mean it's coming along slowly! I want to find other perennials hardy to my zone to put in it.Are some of the other plants in yours semp's if so could you let me know the names of a few that do good in the bed?It looks like everything is doing wonderfully in that bed!!!!

Jelinda, the above photo is some of the plants growing in one of my raised beds. Your rock garden should provide a wonderful place for just about any hardy succulent to grow. There are many sedum that love growing in rock gardens. And the semps love it also. Then there are miniature plants of other types that would love your rock garden.
Sedum lydium Mossy Stonecrop (Sedum lydium)
Sedum pachyclados Afghan Stonecrop (Rhodiola pachyclada)
Sedum kamtschaticum 'Variegatum' Sedum (Phedimus kamtschaticus 'Variegatum')
Sedum spathulifolium http://garden.org/plants/searc...

There are so many it would take up way to much space to list possibilities here for your rock garden. Same with the sempervivum, all of them would grow in your rock garden. The best thing to do is browse through the database and find the ones that appeal to you.

There are also other tiny to small plants that would be lovely in your rock garden. Such as some of the alpine plants. There are so many treasures to be found. http://garden.org/ideas/view/v...
I am just in the last 2 years finding some of them.
