Sempervivum 'Adeltruid' is a cold hardy succulent belonging to the Crassulaceae family, bred from mountain-dwelling houseleek species native to the rocky alpine regions of Europe and western Asia. Like all sempervivums, it evolved to thrive in harsh, well-drained terrain where drought, frost, and thin soils are simply part of life.
Sempervivum 'Adeltruid' forms tight, compact rosettes with fleshy, pointed leaves that display a striking blend of burgundy and green tones, deepening in color with more sun exposure. It grows in a clustering habit, steadily multiplying by producing small offset rosettes, or "chicks," that spread outward from the parent plant in a satisfying, architectural mound.
Sempervivum 'Adeltruid' is monocarpic in bloom, meaning each individual rosette flowers once, then gives way to the surrounding offsets that carry the plant forward. Like other houseleek plants, it requires a drop in nighttime temperature to trigger blooming, making outdoor or cool-season placement a key part of its care.
This drought tolerant succulent is a fantastic choice for rock gardens, alpine troughs, container groupings, and outdoor patio displays. Sempervivum 'Adeltruid' handles balcony wind and light rain well, making it a reliable low maintenance succulent for exposed spots. It is pet friendly, frost tolerant, and tough enough to survive a ten-day trip without a caretaker, which makes it a favorite among collectors and busy plant lovers alike.

Sempervivum 'Adeltruid' thrives in full sun to partial sun, receiving at least four to six hours of direct light daily.
Water Sempervivum 'Adeltruid' deeply but infrequently, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings, roughly every ten to fourteen days indoors.
Sempervivum 'Adeltruid' needs a fast-draining mix such as cactus and succulent soil blended with coarse perlite or grit at a 1:1 ratio.
Sempervivum 'Adeltruid' tolerates temperatures from around 20°F (-7°C) and lower, performing beautifully through hard frost and freezing winters.

Sempervivum 'Adeltruid' is a slow to moderate grower that needs little to no fertilizer, thriving on lean soil just as it would in the wild.
Sempervivum 'Adeltruid' is typically hardy in USDA Zones 4 through 9, tolerating frost down to around -30°F (-34°C) at the colder end of that range. This covers a sweeping stretch of the United States, including Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Nevada, and California. Gardeners across Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and Arizona also fall within the warmer zones of this range, making Sempervivum 'Adeltruid' a genuinely versatile outdoor succulent plant across most of the continental US.
