We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying your Semponium ‘Surreal Sienna’! This variety develops some beautiful color changes as it matures and moves through the seasons.
From spring through fall, the foliage is typically a bright sienna red with green in the heart of each rosette. As the weather cools, the coloring changes. From late fall into winter, the foliage transitions to greenish-purple and gradually deepens to a dark burgundy red. The intensity of the color can vary depending on light, temperature, and growing conditions.
As for flowers, Semponiums need to reach maturity before they are ready to bloom. Once the plant is mature and well established, it can produce a tall flower stalk topped with clusters of flowers. The timing can vary, so it may take some time for a younger plant to flower.
Providing plenty of bright light and good growing conditions will help encourage the best coloration and overall growth. We hope you enjoy watching your ‘Surreal Sienna’ change colors throughout the seasons!
