Hi Tim, my heufs are spreading out naturally, the red one by Bill Nixon named 'Torrid Zone' has been in this planter (untouched) for approx 15 years. The only other heuf I currently have is 'Gold Bug', also very slow growing and does not bunch up into tall clumps but spreads horizontally, no intervention by me. I do think one factor is the cultivar itself. Analogous to regular semps, there are some that have extra short stolons resulting in congestion and vertical build, which I'm not a fan of.
I need to rebuild my heuf collection and plan on buying at least a dozen this year, but I look at how the plant clumps as part of my selection process. Some heufs become overly congested, which I don't like.
