{"product_id":"jovibarba-heuffelii-aphrodite","title":"Jovibarba heuffelii 'Aphrodite' - Rare","description":"\u003cp\u003eJovibarba heuffelii 'Aphrodite' is a rare and beautiful member of the Jovibarba genus, closely related to Sempervivum but with distinct differences. Unlike Sempervivum, which produces trailing stolons, Jovibarba heuffelii multiplies by splitting the central rosette in two, creating a slowly spreading, tightly packed clump. 'Aphrodite' produces elegantly formed rosettes in soft, warm tones with beautifully shaped, slightly convex leaves. A slow-growing, refined collector's plant that rewards patience with exceptional beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 12px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"font-weight: bold; padding: 4px 10px 4px 0; vertical-align: top; white-space: nowrap;\"\u003e📐 Current Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 4px 0;\"\u003e4-5 cm across (May 2026) \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"font-weight: bold; padding: 4px 10px 4px 0; vertical-align: top; white-space: nowrap;\"\u003e☀️ Sun\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 4px 0;\"\u003eFull sun to partial shade.
