Sempervivum Colorockz 'Blushing Garnet' is a rosette-forming hens and chicks succulent belonging to the Crassulaceae family. Native to the mountain regions of Europe and western Asia, wild sempervivums grow in rocky, alpine terrain where harsh conditions are the norm. This frost hardy perennial brings that same rugged resilience to gardens and containers everywhere.
Sempervivum Colorockz 'Blushing Garnet' forms tight, jewel-toned rosettes in rich burgundy-red hues with hints of deep garnet that deepen beautifully in bright sun. The fleshy, pointed leaves have a smooth, waxy texture and form a neat clumping habit as the mother rosette produces cheerful offsets all around it. It spreads steadily outward, creating a dense, low-growing mat that looks stunning in rock gardens, troughs, and containers.
Like all sempervivums, Sempervivum Colorockz 'Blushing Garnet' blooms once per rosette, typically in summer, sending up a star-shaped flower cluster on a tall stalk before that rosette completes its lifecycle. The surrounding offsets carry on growing, so the display never skips a beat. This cycle makes it endlessly self-renewing and a genuine conversation piece for collectors of rosette forming succulents.
Sempervivum Colorockz 'Blushing Garnet' is an ideal low maintenance succulent for balconies, rockeries, green roofs, and mixed alpine troughs, handling balcony wind and rain with ease. It can move outside for summer and stays outdoors well into autumn without complaint. This plant is pet friendly, survives a 10-day trip alone without watering, and tolerates dry heated indoor air, making it as practical as it is beautiful for busy plant lovers and collectors alike.
