• Sempervivum ‘Silver King’ is a vigorous grower well suited for rock gardens and outdoor containers. The large rosettes have a green base color that can develop dramatic flushes of red and burgundy, especially when grown in bright sun. The foliage may also show wavy striations or “watermark” patterns of natural wax on the leaf surface.
