Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Cobweb Joy'

Highlights

Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Cobweb Joy' (Drown): The pride of the spiders! This fuzzy clump of rosettes is perfect for adding interest to dry, rocky parts of the garden. It offsets rapidly for easy propagation or groundcover. It flushes crimson and gets fuzzier in bright sunlight. Don't worry--its "cobweb" covering is totally normal and not the result of spiders.

Hens & Chicks need plenty of outdoor sunlight to show their best colors and maintain a tight rosette form. They thrive in gritty, well-draining soils and pots with drainage holes. They produce new offsets or "chicks" on stolons. These chicks can be left to form tidy clusters or removed to share and transplant.

Sempervivum do most of their growing in the spring and summer, and will thrive with weekly watering and afternoon shade if temperatures exceed 80F. They are incredibly frost hardy and will happily thrive through winter under an insulating blanket of snow. Protect from heavy rains and standing water to prevent rot.
