Monrovia Surreal Mrs. Frosty Semponium

The foliage is a striking, near-black shade that transitions to a vibrant green at the center. While the dark color is a defining feature, it remains most intense with proper sun exposure.

While it is categorized as a potted houseplant, it thrives best in sunny spots. If keeping it indoors, ensure it is placed in a location that receives significant natural light, such as a south-facing window.

This hybrid is specifically bred for enhanced cold hardiness and is rated for Zone 8. It can handle cooler temperatures better than many typical succulents, but you should still protect it from extreme freezes.

Once established, this plant is quite drought-tolerant. You should let the soil dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot, as it prefers well-draining conditions.

The Surreal Mrs. Frosty Semponium is deer resistant, making it a reliable choice for outdoor containers or rock gardens where wildlife might be an issue.

At maturity, this plant reaches about 2 feet in height and 2 feet in width. Its architectural rosette form makes it a great focal point, so ensure your container is large enough to accommodate its eventual spread.
