Sempervivum 'Larissa' is a cold hardy succulent belonging to the Crassulaceae family, bred from mountain-dwelling European species that naturally thrive in rocky, alpine terrain. Like all hens and chicks, Sempervivum 'Larissa' forms tight rosette clusters that multiply readily, making it a rewarding and easy care addition to any collection.
Sempervivum 'Larissa' produces compact rosettes in rich rosy-red and green tones, with fleshy, pointed leaves that develop warm honey and orange blushes depending on sun exposure and season. The upright, clustering growth style means each mother rosette steadily pushes out offsets, filling containers and garden beds with a dense, textured carpet of color.
Sempervivum 'Larissa' needs a night temperature drop to trigger blooming, a natural cue this hardy plant relies on after its first year of growth. Beyond flowering, the bold color shifts and tight rosette architecture are outstanding features that make Sempervivum 'Larissa' a standout in any drought tolerant planting scheme.
Sempervivum 'Larissa' is a genuinely tough plant built for outdoor life, thriving on patios, in rock gardens, alpine troughs, and container arrangements. It can move outside for summer, handles balcony wind, and stays outdoors well into autumn thanks to its impressive frost tolerance. This plant is pet friendly, survives a 10-day trip alone without watering, and tolerates dry heated air indoors during winter, making it exceptionally versatile for both home and garden growers.
