    •   Sempervivum 'Dark Point' is a hardy British cultivar of the houseleek, part of the alpine succulent family known for exceptional cold resistance. This drought tolerant succulent originates from European mountain regions where it naturally grows in rocky, well-draining conditions.

        Sempervivum 'Dark Point' forms distinctive rosettes with thick, pointed leaves that display deep burgundy-red coloring, especially pronounced at the leaf tips. The rosettes typically reach 3-4 inches across and develop a clustering growth habit, creating attractive mat-like colonies. Each leaf showcases a waxy texture with subtle green undertones that intensify the dramatic dark red points that give this cultivar its name.

        Sempervivum 'Dark Point' produces small star-shaped flowers on tall stalks during summer months, though flowering typically occurs infrequently as the plant focuses energy on producing offsets. This pet friendly succulent tolerates dry heated air indoors and handles balcony wind and rain when grown outdoors, making it versatile for various growing conditions.

        Sempervivum 'Dark Point' excels as a low maintenance outdoor plant that can move outside for summer and stay outdoors through autumn. This hardy succulent survives 10-day trips alone with basic care requirements and needs rotating for even growth when grown indoors. Alpine succulent collectors prize this red succulent for its reliable performance in rock gardens, containers, and challenging outdoor locations where other plants struggle.

    •   Sempervivum 'Dark Point' thrives in full sun to partial sun conditions but scorches in south-facing windows.

        Water Sempervivum 'Dark Point' deeply every 10-14 days during growing season, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings.

        Sempervivum 'Dark Point' requires well-draining soil mix with sand, perlite, and gritty components for optimal health.

        Sempervivum 'Dark Point' tolerates temperatures from 20°F to 85°F (-6°C to 29°C) and is highly frost tolerant.

        Sempervivum 'Dark Point' grows slowly and clusters naturally, requiring no fertilizer for healthy development.

        Sempervivum 'Dark Point' thrives in USDA hardiness zones 3-9 and tolerates temperatures down to -30°F (-34°C). This cold hardy succulent grows successfully across most US states including Alaska, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.

      🌵 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.
