Sempervivum calcareum (Red Tip) is a hardy, cold-tolerant succulent known for its beautifully symmetrical rosette and distinctive red-tipped leaves. The thick, triangular leaves range from pale green to bluish tones, with deep burgundy edges that intensify in cooler temperatures. This alpine species thrives outdoors year-round, produces offsets (chicks) freely, and forms attractive clusters perfect for rock gardens, patio containers, and cold-climate succulent collections. Extremely tough, drought-resistant, and easy to grow.
