Sempervivum Ciliosum is a charming alpine succulent in the Crassulaceae family, native to the rocky mountain slopes of Bulgaria and Greece. This tough little hens and chicks succulent has adapted to survive harsh conditions, making it one of the most rewarding drought tolerant succulents you can grow.
Sempervivum Ciliosum forms tight, symmetrical rosettes densely covered in fine white cilia, those tiny hair-like fringe edges that catch the light and give each leaf a soft, silvery glow. The compact gray-green rosettes cluster and spread beautifully over time, creating a living tapestry of texture. This ciliated houseleek is instantly recognizable thanks to those distinctive hairy margins, which set it apart from most other teneriffe houseleek varieties.
Sempervivum Ciliosum produces star-shaped blooms on tall upright stems, typically in summer, in soft yellow to pale greenish-yellow tones. Like all sempervivums, individual rosettes bloom once and then die back, but the surrounding offsets carry on, keeping the colony thriving and full.
Sempervivum Ciliosum is a wide spreader that fills containers, rock gardens, and alpine troughs with ease, and it handles balcony wind and rain like a champ. It can move outside for summer, stay outdoors into autumn, and tolerates dry heated air indoors without complaint. This is a pet friendly succulent, so no worries if curious cats or dogs investigate. Collectors will appreciate that Sempervivum Ciliosum is considered a rare find, and its striking fringed texture makes it a genuine standout in any sempervivum collection.
