| Posted by valleylynn (Dallas, OR - Zone 8b) on Nov 15, 2012 6:44 PM This is one of those basic green semps with dark colored tips, but by no means a run of the mill green semp. It has such a beautiful form to the rosette and the green changes from a very chartreuse green to a lovely bright green. Depending on the time of the year it has greater or lesser amounts of brown/red leave edges and tips. [ Reply to this comment | |
