Sempervivum 'Pekinese'

Introducing the Sempervivum 'Pekinese', a hardy succulent that hails from the high altitudes of Europe. This particular variety captivates with its vibrant rosettes, which display a mesmerizing blend of deep purples and bright greens, edged with fine, cilia-like hairs that shimmer under the sunlight. As it matures, 'Pekinese' forms a compact cluster, typically reaching up to 4 inches in height and spreading out to about 6 inches in width, creating a lush tapestry of color and texture.

In the garden, Sempervivum 'Pekinese' is a versatile performer, thriving in rock gardens, green roofs, or as a striking border plant. Its drought-tolerant nature makes it a favorite among gardeners looking for low-maintenance yet visually appealing options. When potted, it acts as a captivating centerpiece, its rosettes spilling over the edges and adding a touch of elegance to any setting.

But the beauty of 'Pekinese' doesn't end with its foliage. During the summer months, expect to see an enchanting display of star-shaped, pink flowers emerging on tall stalks, attracting pollinators and adding a new layer of interest to your garden. These blooms not only highlight the plant's aesthetic appeal but also signal a rare and fascinating aspect of its lifecycle, as Sempervivum varieties are known for flowering once before dying, leaving behind offsets to continue their legacy.

Whether you're a seasoned succulent collector or new to the world of these resilient plants, Sempervivum 'Pekinese' offers a stunning, low-care option that promises to bring a burst of color and life to any space it inhabits.

Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
