I was given a Semp "Lilac Time" after a show at the Denver Botanic Gardens, where it was labeled, so I assume it is the same plant. However, I grow mine in a sunny (summer) rock garden in Denver. It is a slow grower for me, but produced a very short seed stalk this year. The outer leaves flushed an incredible lilac-pink during this bloom. Mine is more like Todd's color in the winter, when it gets no direct sun.

11/13/05 - Lilac Time is now in full shade for the winter. The main rosette that bloomed is jsut about dead, but still flushed that incredible, well, lilac color. The adjacent rosettes are all green, going over to blue. The little clump that has had more recent sun still has some lilac color. WIll post pix.

A subtle-colored sempervivum, this one has a purplish-grey cast to the foliage. The rosettes are moderate to large-sized.
