Sempervivum Colorockz 'Blushing Garnet' Care Guide
FAQ/Common Issues

Sempervivum Colorockz 'Blushing Garnet' is a rosette-forming succulent in the Crassulaceae family, native to the mountain regions of Europe and western Asia. It grows wild in rocky, alpine terrain and brings that same rugged resilience to gardens and containers everywhere.

Blushing Garnet forms tight rosettes in burgundy-red hues with hints of deep garnet that deepen in bright sun. The fleshy, pointed leaves have a smooth, waxy texture, and the mother rosette produces offsets all around it, forming a clumping habit. Individual rosettes typically reach 2-4 inches across, and it spreads steadily outward to create a dense, low-growing mat that works in rock gardens, troughs, and containers.

Like all sempervivums, Blushing Garnet blooms once per rosette, typically in summer, sending up a star-shaped flower cluster on a tall stalk before that rosette completes its lifecycle. The surrounding offsets continue growing, so the display never skips a beat.

Blushing Garnet handles balcony wind and rain with ease, and you can move it outside for summer and leave it there well into autumn without extra protection. You can leave it up to ten days without water. It tolerates dry heated indoor air. Individual rosettes need little to no fertilizer to grow well, and propagation is simple: detach the small offsets called chicks from the mother rosette and press them onto well-draining soil where they root quickly on their own.
Sempervivum Colorockz 'Blushing Garnet' grows well in partial to full sun, with the deepest burgundy-red color developing in direct sun.

Water it every 2-3 weeks in summer, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings, and reduce to once a month or less in winter.

Blushing Garnet grows well in gritty, fast-draining soil such as cactus mix blended with extra perlite or coarse sand.

It handles temperatures from around -30°F up to 80°F and is exceptionally frost hardy.

Blushing Garnet is a moderate, steady spreader that needs little to no fertilizer to grow well.

It is hardy in USDA zones 3-8, tolerating frost well below 0°F.

🌵 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.
