Jeff, you're way too smart for me! You're Worldly. TFS

Very nice plant.

Very interesting. Will it be ok thru the winter?

Yes, nice looking plant! Is it in the sedum family and will it winter ok or come inside during the cold.

Howard, thanks but the interest in Korean things is thanks to the US Navy. Worldly, but naive a lot.

Rina, socks and Debra,

Thanks - it's from a group of islands in the East Sea ( called by many the Sea of Japan) in the North Pacific, so presumably it's cold-hardy. It's planted in the ground and will stay there - I'm too lazy a gardener to take things out in the fall, but I'll make sure it's covered by some pine needles, I'd guess.

It's really quite pretty, I just love nice green & white variegates.

Am curious tho', do the pinkish highlights of the young rosettes whiten as they age? I ask as that's what happens w/ several green & white variegated Hoyas (but only some of their variegates).

Karen,

It is quite pretty - I should have bought all three. Yes, that's a common theme in new growth in succulent plants, the red-coloured young tissue. I'd guess the Crassulaic Acid Metabolism process isn't quite worked out yet, plus on much of the new growth there isn't (yet) any chlorophyll.

Thank you, Stush - yours is looking great. That's a good idea about taking cuttings.

Incidentally, that price you paid was the same paid for my plant (it was in a 3/4 gallon pot).

That's pretty much what I figured but that or nothing. I did love it at first site. Our local nursery gets some great new stuff in and they sell there 4 inch perennials for around $4 ea. with fall sales of BOGO. I bet next year they will have a bench full.
