Sempervivum 'Urmina' is a cold hardy hens and chicks succulent belonging to the Crassulaceae family, prized by collectors and garden enthusiasts alike. Native to the mountain regions of Europe and Asia Minor, Sempervivum species evolved to survive rocky, dry terrain with minimal care, making Sempervivum 'Urmina' a naturally tough and low maintenance succulent for almost any setting.
Sempervivum 'Urmina' forms tight, symmetrical rosettes with fleshy, pointed leaves that display a striking blend of burgundy and green tones, deepening in color under full sun exposure. This rosette forming succulent spreads by producing offsets around the mother plant, creating a beautiful clustering mat over time. The structured geometry and rich coloring make Sempervivum 'Urmina' one of the most visually rewarding hens and chicks cultivars you can grow.
Like other Sempervivum varieties, Sempervivum 'Urmina' typically blooms once the mother rosette matures, sending up a flower stalk with small, star-shaped blooms before that rosette completes its life cycle and the surrounding chicks carry on. A night temperature drop in spring can encourage blooming, so leaving Sempervivum 'Urmina' outdoors through the cooler months works naturally in its favor. After flowering, the pup rosettes fill in seamlessly, keeping the display full and lush.
Sempervivum 'Urmina' is a genuinely easy care plant that thrives on neglect, making it ideal for rock gardens, alpine troughs, container arrangements, and sunny balconies. It handles balcony wind and rain with ease, tolerates dry heated air indoors, and can move outside for summer without missing a beat. This pet friendly succulent is safe around cats and dogs, and it survives a 10-day trip away without anyone home to water it. Frost tolerant and built to handle drafty spots, Sempervivum 'Urmina' earns a permanent place in any drought tolerant succulent collection.

Sempervivum 'Urmina' thrives in partial sun to full sun, producing its richest coloring with at least four to six hours of direct light daily.
Water Sempervivum 'Urmina' deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings, roughly every two to three weeks indoors.
Sempervivum 'Urmina' needs fast-draining soil, ideally a gritty cactus and succulent mix blended with perlite or coarse sand for optimal drainage.
Sempervivum 'Urmina' tolerates a wide range from around -30°F (-34°C) at its hardiest to warm summer highs, making it a true frost hardy perennial.

Sempervivum 'Urmina' grows at a moderate pace and needs no regular fertilizer, though a single light feed in spring can support healthy offsetting.
Sempervivum 'Urmina' is reliably hardy in USDA Zones 3 through 8, tolerating frost well below 0°F (-18°C), which covers a vast stretch of the United States. This includes the northern and central states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and West Virginia.
