Hi John, and a big
to you. I love that you have been reading some of the threads and getting excited about trying sempervivum.
And the really wonderful part about your zone is that you can grow many of the tender succulents as well. The best of both worlds.
Calif_Sue is in zone 9a and growing semps that are doing nicely for her. Let me see if I can get her to pop in here and tell us her experience with semps.
I would think the bright light, but partial sun/shade would work well in your zone. I agree with Bev, to much sun in your area would fry them.
