Sempervivum 'Red Beauty': Green Rosettes with Red Tips and Purple-Red Flowers

Sempervivum 'Red Beauty'

Classically beautiful, Sempervivum 'Red Beauty' features green foliage highlighted with red tips on vigorous plants. In summer, flat clusters of purple-red flowers appear—a lovely combination of foliar and floral color. Perfect for rock gardens, containers, and desert plantings where traditional sempervivum beauty is desired.

Classic Color Combination

The rosettes are green with distinct red tips that deepen in cool weather and full sun. The plants are vigorous, offsetting freely. Summer brings flat-topped clusters (cymes) of starry, purple-red flowers on 6–10 inch stems. The combination of red-tipped foliage and purple-red blooms is harmonious and showy. A reliable, traditional performer.
