Sempervivum 'Virgil Ford'
-
Sempervivum ‘Virgil Ford’ is a beautiful, medium-sized hens and chicks variety with rosettes that shift gently between blue, lavender, pink, and soft silver tones. One of its most charming features is the subtle “watermark” pattern on the leaves, created by a natural waxy coating that gives the plant a slightly frosted, almost hand-painted look. As temperatures drop, the colors deepen into a rich royal purple, making it especially eye-catching through the colder months.
Sempervivum plants come from mountainous regions of Europe, where they are used to rocky soil, bright sun, and tough weather. ‘Virgil Ford’, developed by Skrocki, stands out for its dependable shape and beautiful color changes throughout the year.
