This thread will be devoted to experimenting with bolting (flowering) sempervivum. We hope to find a reliable way to save cultivars that are new to our collection, or that we only have one or two rosettes.
Here are my experiment plants:
S. arach 'Ali' 6/9/2011 coning, S. arach 'Ali' 6/9/2011 cone removed and the cone top planted to see if it will grow.
S. 'Duke of Windsor' 6/9/2011 coning, Duke of Windsor 6/9/2011 coning removed and cone top planted to see if it will grow.
S 'Hookerii' 6/9/2011 plant A coning, and with cones cut off. S. 'Hookerii' plant B coning and with cones are cut off. I did not plant any of the flower tops of this one.
So far the only ones I am having a problem with blooming are the arach type or fuzzy ones.
