Hello all!!! I would like to start a new thread each week with a featured sempervivum or jovibarba. The goal will be to find out as much information as possible about the semp as well as the hybridizer in hopes that we can confirm the identity of some of the sempervivum that we have here in the United States. Please post your photos of your sempervivum with a date that the photo was taken as well as any observations such as cilia, tufting, leaf shape, rosette shape and any other distinguishing characteristics.
I would like to start with Sempervivum 'Dream Catcher'.
I have had this semp for about 2 years. The max size for my Dream Catcher is about 4". The leaves at this time of the year are smooth with a cilia around the edges. It is primarily a dark maroon with a green at the base. Last year, it did display a crested form. I did a quick search regarding the hybridizer, Janis Noyes, I did not find much info on her other than she is also the hybridizer of 'Maya'. Please put on your detective caps so that we can gain some knowledge about 'Dream Catcher'!!!
