Unique frosted rosette form - A striking hardy succulent forming neat rosettes covered in fine silvery white hairs, giving it a frosted arctic look. The foliage shifts from pale green to silvery white depending on light and temperature, providing stunning texture and contrast in rock gardens, troughs, or containers.
- Low maintenance and drought tolerant - Exceptionally resilient, thriving in poor, free-draining soil and requiring little water once established. Perfect for sunny spots, gravel gardens, alpine beds, or green roofs, where it spreads slowly by offsets to create an attractive carpet of rosettes.
- Seasonal interest - Evergreen through winter, maintaining form and colour all year. In summer, mature rosettes produce tall stems with star shaped pink blooms, adding bursts of colour and attracting pollinators before naturally dying back to allow new rosettes to take their place.

Watering Allow the compost to dry well between waterings, then water thoroughly and let all excess drain away. These plants cope better with being slightly dry than sitting in wet compost, so never leave the pot standing in water. Reduce watering significantly through the cooler, darker months.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in sun or partial shade in fertile, well-drained loam. Choose a position with good airflow and enough space for the plant to reach its mature size. Mulch after planting and keep the root zone free from prolonged waterlogging, particularly through winter.
