It will be interesting you watch it change colors. Keep us posted.

Opps, just went and looked at Simply Succulents web site and photo of their 'Pacific Knight'. That does not appear to be the correct plant.
I find nothing showing 'Pacific Knight' as having a green base with red tips. https://www.simplysucculents.c...

Here is what we have in our datase: Hen and Chicks (Sempervivum 'Pacific Knight')

I am thinking @Patty may have the wrong semps also. Patty, where did you get your 'Pacific Knight'?

I'm splitting this thread so we can have a discussion on this semp. Thank you for bringing this one up Tim.

Lynn and everyone, here are my thoughts... In the second picture of your sempervivum.list link, the plant looks flat and leaf shape different from the first picture which looks exactly like what you took at Kevin's. So I'm thinking maybe this one is a changeable type, in spring/summer during its red phase the leaves seem to stretch out, but during its green phase the semp closes up into more of a flat shape. The 2nd picture of the link also has the same leaf shape as the picture on Simply Succulents - maybe that red stripe is at one particular phase of color change, from the red center to a more green color? This is my idea anyway.
Let me know what other's think I have a version of this, and don't remember what it looks like, but this is why I'm curious
