Sempervivum 'Rauhreif'

Introducing the Sempervivum 'Rauhreif', a hardy succulent that is as resilient as it is beautiful. Originating from the high altitudes of Europe, this perennial plant is named for its distinctive appearance, with 'Rauhreif' translating to 'hoarfrost' in German – a nod to the fine, white hairs that cover its rosettes, giving them a frosted look. The leaves of the Sempervivum 'Rauhreif' form tight clusters, showcasing a symphony of colors ranging from deep green at the base to pink and purple hues towards the tips, especially pronounced under full sun exposure.

Reaching up to 4 inches in height and spreading out to 6 inches in width, this succulent is a perfect choice for rock gardens, green roofs, or as a groundcover in drought-tolerant landscapes. Its ability to withstand cold temperatures and even snow makes it a versatile addition to gardens in cooler climates. During the summer months, the Sempervivum 'Rauhreif' sends up tall, flowering stalks, topped with star-shaped flowers, adding an extra layer of interest to its already captivating display.

Aside from its aesthetic appeal, the Sempervivum 'Rauhreif' is valued for its ease of care, requiring minimal watering and thriving in well-draining soil. It is an ideal choice for gardeners looking for low-maintenance yet visually striking plants. Whether nestled in a rockery, perched in a container, or spread across a green roof, the Sempervivum 'Rauhreif' is sure to enchant with its frosty foliage and vibrant blooms.

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!
