Sunburst

'Sunburst' is a lovely sight in spring when the normally pale green rosettes start to become flushed with red and develop distinctive yellow centres. The rosettes are medium to small in size but produce enough offsets to make good clumps. Makes a lovely specimen in a clay pan, ideal for an alpine house or a cold, well-ventilated porch or conservatory to see it at its best, although it is perfectly hardy outdoors.

A wonderful variety but seldom offered. 

'Sunburst' was bred by Mark C. Smith in the UK around 1970. He also bred 'Rosie' (which we also grow) that same year, but the name 'Sunburst' was actually given by Mary Mitchell. 'Sunburst' is certainly a descriptive name and suits the plant well.
