Sempervivum 'Red Heart': Unique Vigorous Rosettes for Garden Diversity

Sempervivum 'Red Heart'

Distinctive and vigorous, Sempervivum 'Red Heart' adds unique diversity to sempervivum collections with its striking evergreen foliage on robust plants. The rosettes are attractively colored and form a colony quickly. Perfect for rock gardens, containers, and desert plantings where a strong, colorful presence is desired.

Vigorous Character

The rosettes are typically green with strong red centers or tips (the "heart"), and the plants are notably vigorous—offsetting freely and forming a substantial colony. The exact foliage pattern may vary, but the vigor and color intensity are consistent. Summer flowers (pink) may appear on mature rosettes. A reliable, robust grower.

Cultural Needs

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

Uses

Excellent for quick coverage in rock gardens and on slopes. The vigorous habit fills containers fast. The red heart provides year-round color interest. Use in mixed sempervivum plantings for diversity of form and color. Very low maintenance.
