Sempervivum 'Kalinda': Vigorous Rosettes with Deep Pink Flowers

Sempervivum 'Kalinda'

Vigorous and floriferous, Sempervivum 'Kalinda' combines stunning evergreen foliage with deep pink flowers on strong stems. The rosettes are 3–4 inches across, attractively colored, and multiply quickly to form a substantial colony. Perfect for rock gardens, containers, and desert plantings where both foliage and flower power are desired.

Foliage & Flowers

The rosettes are attractively colored (typically green with red tips) and notably vigorous—offsetting freely to form a colony quickly. In summer, thick flower stems rise 6–12 inches, topped with clusters of deep pink, star-shaped flowers—showier than many sempervivums. The combination of rapid offsetting and good flower display makes 'Kalinda' a standout performer.

Cultural Conditions

  • Light: Full sun.
  • Height: Rosettes 3–6 inches; flowers to 12 inches (2 feet or less).
  • Spread: 8–16 inches (vigorous colonizing).
  • Soil: Very well-drained, gritty.
  • Water: Low. Drought-tolerant.

Uses & Care

Excellent for covering ground quickly in rock gardens and slopes. The pink flowers are a bonus in early summer. Use in containers where the vigorous growth fills pots fast. After flowering, remove spent rosettes. Very low maintenance. Deer and rabbit resistant.
