Compte de Congae is a large and striking Sempervivum hybridized in the U.S. by Sandy Macpherson and registered in 1961. Its generous rosettes shift beautifully between pink, orange, burgundy, and silvery green tones throughout the seasons — a constantly evolving color display that makes it a standout in any collection or garden. Blooms summer through fall.
Like all Sempervivums, Compte de Congae naturally produces offsets (“chicks”) on stolons that can be left to form tidy clusters or removed to transplant or share. Frost hardy and easy to grow.
