Technical Product Description – Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Arctic White'
Sempervivum Colorockz® 'Arctic White' is a cold-hardy alpine succulent prized for its intricate, webbed rosette structure and crisp coloration. The compact rosettes, typically 1.5–2 inches in diameter, are densely clustered and display a vivid green to bluish base overlaid with striking white, cobweb-like trichomes that converge at the center of each leaf tip—giving the appearance of a delicate frost or fine spider silk. This cultivar excels in rock gardens, alpine troughs, and container arrangements where its unique texture and form can be appreciated up close. It spreads by producing offsets, forming dense mats over time, which enhances its utility as a groundcover in well-drained, low-nutrient soils.
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.
