They are small, green, tight clusters, like little pin cushions, and covered with fine cobwebs, forming a dense 'pool' of white fuzz in their center. When it starts to open up to flower, you can see its burgundy tips. I got the beautiful pink flowers after one winter in the ground, in late June. |

The "cobweb" hen & chick if blooming in red is sempervivum arachnoideum rubrum. I have charished this interesting little fellow for years. Has survived, rain, hail, snow, sleet. Deep freezes and never fails to delight me with its durability. Love the cobweb affect, arachnoideum refers to arachnoids, or spiders. Rubrum is red, for the bloom. Good luck, and happy gardening. |

United Kingdom (Zone 9a) wrote:Always an interesting plant and easy to grow but resents winter wet. The 'cobweb' catches and holds the rain so that rot is likely to set in. |
| Positive | Happenstance | On Aug 31, 2003, Happenstance from Northern California, CA wrote: This variety has rosettes of all basically the same size, as opposed to the "moms & babies" generally seen. After bloom the rosette dies and other smaller ones increase in size to fill up the space.
See the images I've uploaded for the bloom, decline and death of rosettes. |
