I was wondering about a couple of things with Fuzzy Wuzzy and Whirl-i-gig, both crested types of Sempervivum. Some of the chicks definitely don't show the fasciation, and others seem to show it from quite small. What is the consensus on if the non-fasciated ones will either turn into fasciated forms, or produce fasciated chicks?
Chris, what happened with yours? I see what you mean about the woody stem - one of my Fuzzy Wuzzy has a stem about 4" long, with a tiny clump of roots at the base. I'm going to see if I can encourage some more roots to grow out of the crown.
