It is basically green year around which makes for nice contrast with the other semps that are darker or brighter colored. It also is a good producer. It has also stayed healthy in our very wet winter/spring rain season.Some rosettes grew to 4 to 5 inches across.
This little cutie just makes me smile when I look at it. Again another one that has handled 3 years in our difficult rainy season and stays healthy. I rate Ann-Marie as medium in production. As you can see she has 8 offsets from last year. It is a smaller semp and lightly fuzzy. I also love the color contrast at certain times of the year.
This is a very large semp, 6 inches or more across. It to has stayed healthy in spite of all the rain. It is going into it's third year here. It stays green with dark red tips year round. The colors deepen some during certain times of the year. This has proven to be a very heavy producer for me. The potted plant produced over 40 offsets last growing season.

For about a month this plant has a stunning color contrast. Most of the year it is red, produced over 20 offsets on the larger rosette. This is it's first full year her this coming May. It has stayed healthy through the rainy season this winter and into spring. Mature rosette was approx. 4 to 41/2" across.
This one is brilliant pretty much year round. Another tough plant in my PNW wet season. Lower production of about 5 offsets per rosette, and about 4" across on a mature rosette. This cultivar has been with me for 3 years.
