When you say sempervivum Gold Nugget can take "full sun," does that include New Mexico's intense sun?

I have lost cacti and succulents in "full sun" because of the intensity of it. I am impressed with your Sempervivum plants, but dont want to "cremate" them

Correct, succulents, including Sempervivum 'Gold Nugget', are impacted by the combined effects of sun, heat, and drought. So in a particularly hot climate, we can compensate by giving them a little less sun exposure and/or a little bit more frequent water. For hot, desert climates like the American Southwest, we recommend planting Sempervivum in spots that get afternoon shade and aiming to giving them a deep watering in the morning before particularly hot days.
