  •   Sempervivum 'Pixie' is a cold hardy succulent from the Crassulaceae family, native to the rocky alpine regions of Europe and western Asia. It is a compact rosette-forming hens and chicks variety selected for its small size and outstanding garden performance, growing where most plants struggle in sparse, well-drained terrain.

      Pixie forms tight, low-growing rosettes that cluster readily, sending out small offsets around the central rosette to create a spreading mat over time. The fleshy, pointed leaves spiral in geometric arrangement and shift from green to burgundy-red tones as light and cool temperatures deepen the color. Individual rosettes stay just a few inches across.

      It produces star-shaped flowers on tall upright stalks in summer, after which the blooming rosette completes its life cycle while surrounding offsets continue growing. Pixie tolerates dry heated indoor air, drafty window spots, and breezy balcony conditions including wind and rain.

      Leave it outdoors through autumn and into winter for a real energy boost. You can leave it up to ten days without water. Pixie is pet friendly and safe around cats and dogs, though pollen may be relevant for allergy-sensitive households. Use it in rock gardens, container arrangements, green roofs, and outdoor borders where drought tolerant plants are essential.

  •   Sempervivum 'Pixie' grows well in partial to full sun, needing at least four to six hours of direct light daily.

      Water it deeply but infrequently, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings, roughly every two to three weeks indoors.

      Pixie does best in fast-draining gritty cactus and succulent mix combined with extra perlite or coarse sand.

      It handles a wide temperature range from around 25°F up to 85°F, with strong frost tolerance once established.

      Pixie is a slow to moderate grower needing little to no fertilizer, though a diluted balanced feed once in spring provides a helpful boost.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 4 through 9, surviving frost down to around 30°F at the lower end of its range. It grows outdoors year-round in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, and Oregon. It also grows outdoors in Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, California, Nevada, Arizona, and Washington.
  • Q: Is Sempervivum 'Pixie' pet friendly?
    A: It is non-toxic and safe for cats and dogs.

    Q: How do I know when it needs water?
    A: Sempervivum 'Pixie' shows slight wilting when soil is completely dry. Water at that point, then wait until the soil dries again before the next watering.

    Q: Can Pixie survive frost and cold winters?
    A: It survives temperatures well below freezing in zones 4 through 9.

    Q: How big does it get?
    A: Pixie stays compact, with individual rosettes reaching just a few inches across, though clusters spread wider over time as offsets multiply.

    Q: How do I propagate Pixie?
    A: Detach the small offsets that form around the mother rosette and pot them up in well-draining gritty soil; they root readily within a few weeks.

    Q: Can it grow outdoors year-round?
    A: Pixie lives outdoors year-round across most of the US, though in wet climates it benefits from some cover to protect the rosettes from prolonged rain.

    🌵 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.
