For other genus, often it is not enough, OTOH because hybrids have different species, I would usually keep at large, so one don't miss new "varieties". | |

| Mar 8, 2018 at 11:08 | comment | added | Giacomo Catenazzi | I think genus is enough. One go to the shop and then look for species and cultivars according preferences. | |

| Mar 7, 2018 at 21:02 | comment | added | J. Musser | That's interesting.. an approximate cultivar? I'm not sure I follow. Were you looking to make a nametag for the plant? | |
| Mar 7, 2018 at 20:59 | comment | added | VividD | For all practical purposes (for an average reader) it is sufficient to find an approximate cultivar, but just species is not enough, in this case. | |
| Mar 7, 2018 at 20:56 | comment | added | J. Musser | Well.. out of the 400+ cultivars of Sempervivum tectorum alone, and the high conditional variability in appearance of each one, it is actually not possible to pinpoint an exact cultivar ID. But yeah I accidentally used the wrong link there. The one I linked to showed a semp in poor health, and etiolated, about to flower. | |
