| Hi Lynn How wide is it in the pic and how old is it in the pic? I don't mean the individual rosettes, but the whole plant. Thanks! Marilyn |

| Hi Marilyn. I've had that semp since 2010, so three years. But have harvested numerous offset from it over the last few years. In that photo taken last year I would say the clump is approximately 9" x 9". I can go out tomorrow and measure the clump that's out there now if you like, with a photo of it. It really is a great semp. It has wonderful color changes through the year. |

| Lynn Just saw your message.  No rush! Just whenever you can.  I'm in no hurry. Maybe I can start (and fit) one plant in somewhere.Is it better to plant in the Spring or the Fall for these types of plants? |

| And I forgot. What a pair we are.  I prefer spring, and have better luck with spring planting. But I have done many in the fall with success. |

| Good morning Marilyn. I took this photo just for you this morning. Still a little darkish outside. This clump is the results of the new growth this year on one mature rosette. It truly is a sweet smaller type semp. It packs a lot of color in those little leaves. As you can see we had gentle rains during the night. The semps love this weather we are having right now.  |

| Lynn That is gorgeous!  Thanks! I'm going to make a spot for that one and hope you still have one piece of it to sell next Spring! Does it ever flower? If it does, what does it attract? |

| If you click on the photo you can see about 12 o'clock the dead foliage of a bloom stalk I pruned out. It attracts all types of bees, including Bumble Bees (one of my favorites) and some types of butterflies. I am sure I will have plenty for you then Marilyn. |
