One of the most familiar and easiest to grow garden perennials, yet never lacking in appeal. It forms a low clump of fleshy leaves, tiny new plants appearing in a circle around the mother in the middle. This selection produces medium rosettes with pointed green leaves with red tips.  Extremely drought tolerant once established. Easily increased by just removing the small baby rosettes and replanting in a new location.
