  •   Sempervivum 'Silver Angel' is a cold hardy succulent belonging to the Crassulaceae family, a group renowned for its drought tolerance and resilience. Native to the mountainous regions of Europe and western Asia, sempervivums naturally thrive in rocky, well-drained soils at high altitudes where tough conditions are the norm.

      Sempervivum 'Silver Angel' forms tight, symmetrical rosettes with silvery-toned, fleshy leaves that give it a luminous, almost metallic appearance. It clusters readily, spreading outward as offsets (the "chicks") grow around the central rosette (the "hen"), creating a beautiful silvery rosette succulent mat over time. This classic hens and chicks growth habit makes it instantly recognizable and endlessly satisfying to watch multiply.

      Like all sempervivums, Sempervivum 'Silver Angel' is monocarpic, meaning each individual rosette blooms once, then dies, while the surrounding offsets carry on. The plant needs a drop in night temperatures to trigger blooming, so keeping it in a naturally cycling outdoor environment is the best way to encourage flowering season after season.

      Sempervivum 'Silver Angel' is a fantastic choice for rock gardens, container arrangements, green roofs, and border edges, where its low-growing, clustering habit works as a living succulent ground cover. It handles balcony wind and rain with ease, tolerates dry heated indoor air, and can move outside for summer or stay outdoors in autumn without complaint. This is a pet friendly succulent, safe for households with cats and dogs, and it survives up to a 10-day trip without a caretaker. Serious collectors and casual gardeners alike love it for its striking color, low maintenance appeal, and near-indestructible nature.

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

      Water Sempervivum 'Silver Angel' deeply but infrequently, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings, roughly every 10-14 days.

      Plant Sempervivum 'Silver Angel' in a fast-draining succulent or cactus mix blended with coarse perlite or grit.

      Sempervivum 'Silver Angel' tolerates a wide range, from summer highs down to frost, handling temperatures well below 32°F (0°C).

      Sempervivum 'Silver Angel' is a slow to moderate grower that rarely needs fertilizer, thriving on lean soil and neglect.

      Sempervivum 'Silver Angel' is hardy in USDA Zones 3-8, tolerating winter temperatures as low as -40°F (-40°C), making it one of the toughest frost tolerant succulents available.

    🌵 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.
