Properties and uses:
The crimson Beard of Jupiter forms a small cushion of rosettes whose color can vary according to the seasons or the varieties. Its leaves are thick and bordered with down. It produces small yellow flowers at the beginning of summer.
The Beard of Jupiter will thrive where nothing else grows! With no particular looking after, it will be happy in a rockery, a stony area, a crack in a small wall, any space left free in between paving stones...
It can spend winter outside as long as its roots stay dry.
Remember to remove the wilted rosettes after blossoming, as this will encourage the formation of new rosettes.

Several varieties exist:
- Crimson Beard of Jupiter 'Dark beauty': Variety of Houseleek with dark purple foliage
