Sempervivum 'Cobwebs' | Cobwebs Hens and Chicks

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Sempervivum 'Cobwebs' produces star-shaped clusters of pink flowers in summer, rising above the foliage on upright stems and attracting bees and other pollinators. Thick, fleshy leaves are arranged in compact green rosettes covered with fine white filaments that stretch from tip to tip, creating a delicate web-like pattern across the surface. The evergreen foliage forms dense colonies of offsets that provide year-round texture.

Originating from hybrid breeding based on species native to the mountains of Europe, this cultivar reflects selection focused on ornamental foliage and year-round appeal. It is well suited to rock gardens, troughs, containers, and crevice plantings, where its distinctive rosettes and spreading habit contribute texture and visual interest.
