Couldn't load pickup availability
King George is one of the most eye-catching color-changing Sempervivums you’ll find. It cycles through gold in spring, warm orange tones in summer, and deep red in winter while sporting unique frosted webbing on its tips year-round. When it blooms, it blooms pink. A true four-season showstopper!
Like all Sempervivums, King George naturally produces offsets (“chicks”) each spring that can be left to form tidy clusters or removed to transplant or share with fellow gardeners.
