  •   Sempervivum 'Larissa' is a cold hardy succulent from the Crassulaceae family, descended from mountain-dwelling European species that naturally grow in rocky alpine terrain. Like all hens and chicks, it forms tight rosette clusters that multiply readily, making it suitable for beginning gardeners and collectors.

      It produces compact rosettes in rosy-red and green tones, with fleshy pointed leaves that develop warm honey and orange blushes depending on sun exposure and season. The upright clustering growth means each mother rosette steadily produces offsets, filling containers and garden beds with a dense carpet of textured color.

      After its first year of growth, 'Larissa' needs a night temperature drop to trigger blooming. The bold color shifts and tight rosette architecture work well in drought-tolerant planting schemes.

      Move it outside in summer; it handles balcony wind without trouble and stays outdoors well into autumn thanks to its frost tolerance. It is cat and dog friendly. You can leave it up to ten days without water. It tolerates dry heated air indoors during winter, making it versatile for patios, rock gardens, alpine troughs, and container arrangements.

  •   Sempervivum 'Larissa' grows well in bright indirect light but adapts to both direct sun and low-light conditions with ease.

      Water it deeply every 2-3 weeks in summer, reducing to once a month or less in winter.

      'Larissa' does best in a gritty, fast-draining cactus soil mix blended with extra perlite or coarse sand.

      It prefers temperatures between 65-75°F indoors and is frost tolerant well below 0°F.

      'Larissa' is an upright clustering succulent that grows at a moderate pace and needs no regular fertilizing.

      It is hardy in USDA Zones 3-8, tolerating frost well below 0°F across a vast stretch of the United States. It grows outdoors year-round in Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Idaho, Colorado, Utah, Oregon, Washington, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Missouri. It also grows well in Kansas, Nebraska, and beyond without winter protection needed.
  • Q: Is Sempervivum 'Larissa' safe for cats and dogs?
    A: It is non-toxic and safe around both pets.

    Q: How do I propagate the offsets?
    A: Sempervivum 'Larissa' propagates easily by separating the offsets (called chicks) from the base of the mother rosette and replanting them in well-draining soil.

    Q: Why are the leaves on 'Larissa' turning yellow?
    A: Yellow leaves are usually caused by overwatering or poorly draining soil. Allow the soil to dry fully between waterings and ensure the pot drains freely.

    Q: How much light does it need indoors?
    A: 'Larissa' adapts well to different light levels, from a bright window to lower-light corners, though stronger color development occurs in brighter locations.

    Q: Can 'Larissa' survive a trip without watering?
    A: It easily survives 10 days without water.

    Q: Will this plant stay hardy through winter outdoors?
    A: 'Larissa' survives well below 0°F and grows outdoors year-round in USDA Zones 3-8 across most of the continental United States without any special winter cover.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
