  •   Sempervivum 'King George' is a cold hardy succulent belonging to the houseleek family, prized for its drought tolerant nature and alpine heritage. This robust hens and chicks variety originates from mountainous European regions where it naturally grows in rocky crevices and poor soils.

      Sempervivum 'King George' forms tight, symmetrical rosettes with thick, fleshy leaves that display stunning grey green coloration with striking red tips and edges. The compact rosettes typically reach 3-4 inches across, creating dense mats as offsets multiply around the mother plant. Each leaf features a pointed tip and smooth texture, while the entire rosette maintains perfect geometric form that catches light beautifully throughout the seasons.

      Sempervivum 'King George' produces tall flower spikes with star-shaped blooms in summer, typically displaying pink to reddish hues that complement the plant's colorful foliage. This beginner succulent thrives outdoors year-round and handles balcony wind and rain exceptionally well, though it needs cover from excessive rainfall during winter months.

      Sempervivum 'King George' excels as a rock garden plant and makes an outstanding low maintenance choice for containers, alpine gardens, and green roofs. This outdoor hardy plant survives 10-day trips alone without care and handles drafty spots that challenge other succulents. The plant is pet friendly, making it safe for homes with cats and dogs, while its ability to move outside for summer and stay outdoors in autumn adds seasonal versatility.

    🌵 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.
