  •   Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Robin' is a frost hardy succulent in the Crassulaceae family, beloved by alpine plant enthusiasts worldwide. Native to the mountainous regions of Europe, including the Alps and Pyrenees, it evolved to thrive in rocky, exposed terrain with minimal soil. This tough little rosette succulent has earned a permanent place in gardens and collections for its extraordinary resilience and charm.

      What makes Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Robin' instantly recognizable is the delicate webbing of white filaments that stretch across its rosette tips, earning it the common names cobweb houseleek and spiderweb succulent. The fleshy leaves form tight, symmetrical rosettes in shades of green often flushed with rose or red at the tips, with that signature cottony web creating a frosted, otherworldly effect. As a clustering grower, it spreads steadily by producing offsets, or "chicks," that radiate outward from the mother hen in a satisfying, carpet-like colony.

      Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Robin' typically blooms in summer, sending up a stout flower stalk crowned with star-shaped pink to reddish flowers that attract pollinators to the garden. Like all Sempervivums, individual rosettes are monocarpic, meaning the blooming rosette dies after flowering, but the surrounding chicks quickly fill the gap. A drop in night temperatures can help trigger blooming, making seasonal outdoor placement a great way to encourage flowering.

      Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Robin' is an ideal choice for rock gardens, alpine troughs, container arrangements, green roofs, and balcony planters, handling wind and rain with ease. It thrives outdoors through autumn and is genuinely frost tolerant, making it one of the most carefree drought tolerant succulents you can grow. This is also a pet friendly succulent, so no worries if curious cats or dogs take a sniff. It can survive a 10-day trip without a caretaker and tolerates the dry heated air of indoor spaces, making it as practical as it is beautiful.

  •   Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Robin' thrives in full sun to partial sun, needing at least 4-6 hours of direct light daily.

      Water Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Robin' every 2-3 weeks in summer, reducing to once a month or less in winter.

      Plant Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Robin' in a gritty, fast-draining succulent or cactus mix blended with extra perlite or coarse grit.

      Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Robin' tolerates temperatures from -30°F (-34°C) up to around 90°F (32°C) with good airflow.

      Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Robin' is a steady, moderate spreader that rarely needs fertilizer, though a light spring feed can boost offsets.

      Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Robin' is hardy in USDA Zones 4-9, tolerating frost well below 0°F (-18°C), making it suitable for a huge range of climates. Gardeners across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington can all grow Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Robin' outdoors year-round with little to no winter protection.

    🌵 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.
