This x Semponium was named 'Mrs Frosty' after gardening legend and TV presenter Adam Frost's wife. This plant's name was decided on our Instagram live with Adam Frost over lockdown. It is a fantastic grower which has elongated spoon-shaped leaves. It has brown flecks that resemble ice crystals. It grows with an attractive green and brown colour which is capable of turning brown/ pink in strong light levels. It can grow to a large size in height and width, 60 x 40cm. It can produce layers of offsets, making this a genuinely different-looking Semponium.
