Description

Semponium ‘Destiny’ is another groundbreaking intergeneric crossing between Aeonium and Sempervivum. ‘Destiny’ can be recognized by its large rosettes and distinctly dark purple, veiny leaves, with a bright green centre in winter. What makes this variety even more interesting, is that it holds its dark colours all year round - unlike most other purple Aeonium hybrids.

‘Destiny’ has a compact habit and grows to a beautiful, dense, conical plant as the plant matures. The rosettes are incredibly strong and are known to branch out after a year or two. This robust plant has thick, sturdy, glossy leaves and hardly requires any maintenance!

How to care for Semponium ‘Destiny’:
‘Destiny’ grows up to 60 cm across on a single rosette. Overall, ‘Destiny’ is a very robust plant which is a great addition to any garden, rock garden, balcony or terrace. Place ‘Destiny’ in full sun to semi-shade in well-drained soil. ‘Destiny’ has been tested to be hardy to -5 ºC so far.
