Grange Co-op Surreal Destiny Semponium

This plant is a cross between two different succulent genera, Aeonium and Sempervivum. This breeding combines the architectural rosette shape and glossy texture of an Aeonium with the cold-hardiness and durability of a Sempervivum.

Yes, the deep purple-red foliage is consistent, but you will notice a shift during cooler months. The center of the rosette often develops a bright green hue, creating a striking contrast against the darker outer leaves.

This plant thrives in full sun to partial shade. To maintain its deep, rich color and compact rosette form, aim for at least six hours of bright, direct light daily.

Like many succulents, the rosette that produces the flower cone will eventually complete its life cycle. However, the plant will branch out and produce new offsets, allowing the growth cycle to continue.

It is best suited for USDA Zones 9b through 11. If you live in a colder climate, it is safer to keep this plant in a container so you can bring it indoors or into a protected area during freezing temperatures.

It is drought-tolerant and prefers low to moderate watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot, especially during the winter months when growth slows down.
