Sempervivum heuffelii 'Worstiana'

Introducing the robust and eye-catching Sempervivum heuffelii 'Worstiana', a hardy succulent native to the mountains of Southeast Europe. This plant is a true testament to the resilience and beauty of nature, with its tight rosettes showcasing a captivating blend of green and purple hues that deepen under direct sunlight or cooler temperatures. The leaves of 'Worstiana' are thick, fleshy, and bear a slight dusting of a natural waxy coating, adding to its mystique and charm.

Reaching a modest size of about 4 to 6 inches in both height and width, Sempervivum heuffelii 'Worstiana' makes a perfect addition to any rock garden, container, or green roof. Unlike many other succulents, it is incredibly cold-hardy, capable of withstanding temperatures well below freezing without succumbing to frost damage. This makes it an ideal choice for gardeners looking to add perennial interest to their landscapes without the need for constant winter protection.

One of the most fascinating aspects of 'Worstiana' is its blooming habit. In early to mid-summer, mature rosettes will produce striking yellow flowers, reaching towards the sky on tall, sturdy stalks. These blooms not only add a burst of color to your garden but also attract a variety of pollinators. After flowering, the mother rosette will die back, leaving behind offsets to continue the legacy.

Whether planted in mass for a stunning ground cover or used as a unique specimen in a succulent collection, Sempervivum heuffelii 'Worstiana' is sure to captivate and inspire with its enduring beauty and resilience.

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!
