Strange sempervivum, counts as accent?

Do you have more photos?

To try and find the species, you can have a look at this great site :

SEDUMPHOTOS.NET (there's a section on other succulents)

At the bottom of this page (in French) a list of sempervivums.

Au Cactus Francophone

It may also be a hybrid of Echeverria, some of them are hardy.

A very interesting plant anyway. Can it be a good accent plant? Yes, of course: the dimension, the colours of trhe pot, the shapes must match or respond to those of the tree it accompanies, but yes, any nice plant can be used as kusamono or shitakusa.

Possibly too vigorous for an accent planting but root restriction may work. The thing that I really enjoyed was the explosive popping of seed heads on warm dry days. I don't remember them ever gaining a red edge to the leaves.
