  •   Sempervivum atlanticum is a charming rosette-forming succulent in the Crassulaceae family, native to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and northern Africa. This alpine houseleek succulent thrives naturally in rocky, well-drained terrain at elevation, making it one tough and adaptable low maintenance succulent for home and garden alike.

      Sempervivum atlanticum forms tight, symmetrical rosettes with fleshy, pointed leaves that often display soft green tones with reddish or purplish tips, especially when given bright light. True to its upright, clustering growth style, it spreads steadily by producing offsets around the mother rosette, creating a dense, architectural display over time. The textured foliage has a satisfying geometric quality that makes this hens and chicks succulent instantly eye-catching in any arrangement.

      Sempervivum atlanticum produces star-shaped flowers on tall upright stalks, typically in shades of pink to reddish-pink during summer. Like all Sempervivum, the individual rosette that blooms will die after flowering, but the surrounding chicks carry on beautifully, so the display never feels like a loss.

      As a drought tolerant succulent, Sempervivum atlanticum is an excellent choice for rock gardens, alpine troughs, balcony containers, and sunny windowsills. It handles balcony wind and rain without complaint, can move outside for summer, and stays tough right through autumn. This moroccan houseleek is also a genuine collector find for Sempervivum enthusiasts who love species-true plants with wild-origin character, and its pet friendly status makes it a worry-free pick for households with cats or dogs.

  •   Sempervivum atlanticum thrives in bright indirect light but happily tolerates direct sun outdoors, though it may scorch in intense south-facing windows indoors.

      Water Sempervivum atlanticum thoroughly every 10 to 14 days in summer, reducing to once a month or less in winter.

      Sempervivum atlanticum does best in a gritty, fast-draining mix such as cactus soil combined with 30 to 50 percent perlite or coarse grit.

      Sempervivum atlanticum tolerates temperatures from around 10°F (-12°C) up to 90°F (32°C), making it a genuinely frost hardy succulent for cold climates.

      Sempervivum atlanticum is a moderately fast spreader that needs no regular fertilizer, though a light balanced feed in spring can support healthy offsets.

      Sempervivum atlanticum is hardy in USDA Zones 5 through 9, tolerating frost down to approximately -20°F (-29°C), which makes it one of the most frost hardy succulents available to home growers. Gardeners across a wide stretch of the country can grow Sempervivum atlanticum outdoors year-round, including those in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. It also performs well in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, covering nearly every region from the northern plains to the mid-Atlantic and Pacific Northwest.
  • Q: Is Sempervivum atlanticum pet friendly?
    A: Yes, Sempervivum atlanticum is pet friendly and is considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. You can display it freely without worry in a pet-friendly home.

    Q: How much light does Sempervivum atlanticum need indoors?
    A: Sempervivum atlanticum does best in bright indirect light indoors and appreciates a spot near a sunny window. Rotate it regularly for even, balanced growth.

    Q: How do I propagate Sempervivum atlanticum?
    A: Sempervivum atlanticum propagates easily by separating the small offset rosettes, called chicks, from around the base of the mother plant. Simply pot them up in well-draining gritty soil and they root quickly on their own.

    Q: Is Sempervivum atlanticum frost hardy?
    A: Sempervivum atlanticum is highly frost hardy, surviving temperatures down to around -20°F (-29°C) and rated for USDA Zones 5 through 9. It can stay outdoors through autumn and winter in most temperate climates without any protection.

    Q: Why are the leaves on my Sempervivum atlanticum turning yellow?
    A: Yellow leaves on Sempervivum atlanticum are most often caused by overwatering or waterlogged soil rather than underwatering. Allow the soil to dry out fully between waterings and ensure the pot or ground has excellent drainage.

    Q: How quickly does Sempervivum atlanticum spread?
    A: Sempervivum atlanticum is a moderately fast spreader that clusters by producing offsets steadily through the growing season. Given good light and well-draining soil, a single rosette can form a wide, attractive colony within a couple of seasons.

    🌵 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.
