  •   Sempervivum 'Chrysanthemum' is a cold hardy succulent belonging to the Crassulaceae family, a group renowned for resilience and architectural beauty. Native to the mountain ranges of Europe and Asia Minor, sempervivums evolved in rocky alpine terrain where drought, frost, and poor soil are simply facts of life. This is one tough, low maintenance succulent that genuinely earns its keep.

      Sempervivum 'Chrysanthemum' forms tight, symmetrical rosettes that cluster and spread over time in classic hens and chicks fashion. The leaves are fleshy, pointed, and arranged in a layered, flower-like pattern that gives this cultivar its charming name. Foliage displays rich green tones edged with warm red or bronze, creating a striking green red rosette that looks almost sculptural in containers or garden beds.

      Like all sempervivums, Sempervivum 'Chrysanthemum' blooms once per mature rosette, typically in summer, producing star-shaped flowers on an upright stalk before that rosette completes its life cycle. The surrounding offsets carry on beautifully, so the plant always looks full and thriving. Providing a slight drop in night temperatures can encourage this natural blooming cycle.

      Sempervivum 'Chrysanthemum' is a fantastic outdoor succulent for rock gardens, alpine troughs, wall crevices, and container arrangements where drainage is excellent and space is tight. It handles balcony conditions well, tolerating wind with ease, though it appreciates some cover from heavy rain to prevent waterlogged rosettes. Collectors love this cultivar for its distinctive rosette form, and beginners adore it because success comes effortlessly. This plant is pet friendly, making it a worry-free choice for households with cats or dogs.

  •   Sempervivum 'Chrysanthemum' thrives in partial sun to full sun and appreciates rotating for even, symmetrical rosette growth.

      Water Sempervivum 'Chrysanthemum' deeply but infrequently, allowing soil to fully dry between waterings, roughly every 10-14 days indoors.

      Sempervivum 'Chrysanthemum' tolerates temperatures from -30°F (-34°C) up to around 90°F (32°C) and is impressively frost tolerant.

      Sempervivum 'Chrysanthemum' grows at a moderate pace and rarely needs fertilizer, perhaps a light feed once in spring if desired.

    🌵 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.
