Full StoryIn Sempervivum lovers unite flowerfloosy asked about semps that maintain their color in summer heat. I thought I would start a new post because I'm interested too. Pruhonice, Galahad, Viking, Director Jacobs, Silverine, Purple Ruby, Red Lion, Legolas, Royal Ruby, Rouge, Saga and Unicorn, as well as half a dozen unnamed semps, all maintain some or a lot of color for me. The colors range from icy purple to bronze. Some of these are in shade, some in direct sun for several midday hours, which makes quite a difference in their color. The richest colors are on Viking, Red Lion, Rouge and Royal Ruby. The latter's color is in the chicks, which surround it like a dark red crown. Anyone have others to add to the list?
