Sempervivum calcareum 'Extra'

Sempervivum calcareum 'Extra' – Rare Hen & Chicks Succulent

Sempervivum calcareum 'Extra' is a stunning alpine succulent and a standout cultivar of the classic limestone-loving calcareum species. Known for its bold, blue-green rosettes tipped with deep burgundy-purple, 'Extra' lives up to its name – the colouring is more intense, the form more dramatic, and the collector appeal undeniable.

Imagine a cluster of these jewel-toned rosettes spilling over a rocky trough or nestled in a terracotta pot on a sunny windowsill – a living sculpture that practically takes care of itself.
