Sempervivum 'Lavender and Old Lace' is a striking cold hardy succulent from the houseleek family, originally native to the mountainous regions of Europe. This drought tolerant hens and chicks cultivar has adapted beautifully to harsh alpine conditions, making it an incredibly resilient choice for modern gardeners. The name perfectly captures its soft, romantic coloring that sets it apart from other sempervivum varieties.
Sempervivum 'Lavender and Old Lace' forms gorgeous tight rosettes with fleshy, pointed leaves that display enchanting lavender-pink hues edged in creamy white. The rosettes typically reach 3-4 inches across and develop deeper purple tones when exposed to full sun and cooler temperatures. This clustering succulent creates beautiful colonies as it produces offsets, with each rosette maintaining its distinctive pastel coloration throughout the seasons. The leaves have a subtle powdery finish that enhances the delicate lavender and cream tones.
Sempervivum 'Lavender and Old Lace' produces tall flower spikes with small star-shaped blooms in summer, though the plant's main appeal lies in its stunning foliage. This pet friendly succulent produces pollen during its flowering period, so allergy-sensitive individuals should take note. The plant can handle balcony wind and rain remarkably well, though it needs cover from excessive rainfall to prevent root rot.
Sempervivum 'Lavender and Old Lace' excels as a low maintenance rock garden plant and thrives in outdoor containers year-round. This easy care succulent can move outside for summer and stay outdoors through autumn, making it perfect for seasonal garden displays. It handles drafty spots and tolerates dry heated air, while also surviving a 10-day trip alone when established. Collectors prize this cultivar for its unique coloring, and it shows when thirsty through slight leaf wilting, making care timing simple.
