Sempervivum 'Pacific Red Rose' is a striking frost-hardy succulent known for its vibrant rosette form and ever-changing foliage colours. Bred by Gossett, this unique variety is celebrated for its deep red to burgundy tones during active growth, shifting to warm orange and olive hues in cooler autumn weather. Its adaptable, low-maintenance nature makes it a delightful choice for both experienced gardeners and beginners.
This Sempervivum thrives in full sun, where its colours reach their most intense shades, and its compact, symmetrical rosettes remain tightly formed. Ideal for garden borders, rocky landscapes, or decorative pots, 'Pacific Red Rose' produces offsets—commonly called "chicks"—on stolons. These offsets can be left to create an expanding cluster or detached for propagation and sharing.
A true outdoor enthusiast, Sempervivum 'Pacific Red Rose' prefers gritty, well-draining soil and benefits from pots with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. During Australia’s warmer months, provide regular weekly watering and protect from extreme heat with some afternoon shade if temperatures exceed 27°C. In winter, it endures frost with ease and can overwinter under snow, but ensure it is shielded from heavy rain to avoid rot.
This versatile and resilient succulent brings year-round interest to gardens with its dynamic colouring and charming clusters. Whether used as a border plant or a centrepiece in succulent arrangements, Sempervivum 'Pacific Red Rose' is sure to captivate.
