Burgundy and green rosettes form a tight, evergreen succulent groundcover that changes color with sun and cold. Older rosettes bloom pink once, then offsets continue the colony. Use it in stone joints, alpine beds, or shallow containers. Bright light, lean gritty soil, and fast drainage keep the rosettes compact through winter.
