Sempervivum tectorum var. calcareum 'Fire Dragon' is a striking, hardy succulent known for its rosette-forming habit and vibrant foliage. This plant thrives in hardiness zones 4 to 8, making it suitable for a wide range of climates, preferring temperatures between 15°F and 75°F. The 'Fire Dragon' cultivar boasts leaves that transition from green to deep red, providing a fiery display, particularly in cooler weather. This low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plant is well-suited for rock gardens, containers, and outdoor landscapes, growing to a mature height of about 4 to 6 inches. It is also deer resistant, owing to its tough, fleshy leaves that are unappealing to wildlife. Ideal for gardeners seeking a versatile and colorful addition to their plant collection.
