Sempervivum Kalinda Plant Plug (Sempervivum hybrid) – Hardy, drought-resistant rosette succulent with unique green and red tones.
Size: 1-4" tall rooted plug (Depending on Species)
A resilient beauty with bold, shifting colors, Sempervivum ‘Kalinda’ is a standout addition to any rock garden, container, or drought-tolerant landscape. Its symmetrical rosette of thick, pointed leaves starts bright green in spring, deepens to rich red tones in summer, and transitions into burgundy hues in cooler temperatures.
As a hardy succulent, ‘Kalinda’ thrives in poor soils, dry conditions, and even frost, making it a perfect year-round performer. Like other hens and chicks, it produces offsets (‘chicks’), gradually forming a vibrant, low-maintenance succulent cluster.

✔ Color-Changing Rosettes – Shifts from green to deep red and burgundy, depending on the season.
✔ Cold-Hardy & Frost-Resistant – Survives below-freezing temperatures, making it perfect for outdoor gardens.
