Some of the semps I got in the last year are proving to have some very pretty fall color. The ones I got this summer won't show me what they can do, until next year. Most are rooting nicely finally. It has been a particularly long drought season this year.
I just finished cleaning up all the beds again. I'm thinking about making four more. Not sure what is wrong with my thinking.
Ali is like a white beacon in the beds.
Pacific Devil's Food has unusual brown coloring year round. It goes from deep chocolate to this lighter brown, with undertones of orange and gold. You can see it has quite a bit of dead leaves from the drought.
Dynamo really stands out with it's vivid contrast of lime green and red/orange tips. The drought doesn't seem to affect this semp at all.
Pacific Mauve is another one that isn't bothered by drought. This one not only has a most unusual color, but has a wonderful velvety texture to the leaves.
