Sempervivum heuffelii 'Torrid Zone'
-
Sempervivum heuffelii ‘Torrid Zone’ (Nixon) is a striking hens and chicks variety with a glossy, copper red rosette and a fresh green center. Each leaf is edged with fine, sparkling cilia that catch the light and add extra detail to the plant. As the seasons change, the rosette deepens in color and often turns rich purple in winter, giving it beautiful year round interest.
Sempervivum heuffelii are native to mountainous regions of Europe and are well known for their toughness and reliability outdoors. ‘Torrid Zone’ is a strong grower that holds its color well through heat, cold, and dry conditions. This cultivar is a hybrid of ‘Giuseppi Spiny’ and ‘Henri Correvon’, combining bold color with a solid, well shaped rosette that performs beautifully in gardens and rock plantings.
-
Full sun to partial sun Gritty, well-draining soil is essential. Use a cactus and succulent mix with 50%-70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite.
Water infrequently. Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Avoid letting water sit in the rosette to prevent rot.
Non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses (Pet-friendly).
