Sempervivum 'Red Rubin': Emerald Leaves with Deep Red Tips in Open Rosettes

Sempervivum 'Red Rubin'

Elegant and open, Sempervivum 'Red Rubin' forms lovely emerald-green succulent leaves with deep red tips arranged in open, slightly cupped rosettes. The contrast between the emerald base and ruby tips is clean and striking. Perfect for rock gardens, containers, and desert plantings where a more open rosette form is desired.

Open Form & Color

The rosettes are 3–4 inches across, with leaves that are less tightly imbricated than many sempervivums—creating an open, slightly cupped form. The leaves are a clear emerald green with deep, ruby-red tips. The color contrast is vivid and stable. Offsets form on short stolons. Mature rosettes may produce pink flowers in summer.

Growing Conditions

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

Garden Applications

The open rosette form contrasts beautifully with tight, wheel-like sempervivums. Use in rock gardens, succulent bowls, and containers for textural diversity. The emerald-and-ruby color scheme pairs well with silver and gold succulents. Excellent in trough gardens.
