Sempervivum 'Sonnenkuss'

Embracing the warmth of its name, Sempervivum 'Sonnenkuss', or 'Kiss of the Sun', is a captivating succulent hailing from the cooler regions of Europe. Its rosettes are a masterful display of nature's palette, with leaves that transition from a deep, vibrant green at the base to fiery tips of red and orange, as if each leaf has been lightly brushed with the colors of the sunset. This hardy plant spans approximately 4 to 6 inches in both height and width, making it a versatile addition to any succulent garden, rockery, or container.

The 'Sonnenkuss' is not only admired for its colorful foliage but also for its resilience against harsh conditions, requiring minimal care to thrive. Throughout the summer, it surprises its admirers with bright, star-shaped flowers, adding an extra layer of allure to its already striking appearance. These blooms, rising on sturdy stems above the foliage, attract pollinators and add a lively contrast to the succulent's fiery leaves.

As a perennial, Sempervivum 'Sonnenkuss' will return year after year, each time with more vigor and spreading its warmth through offsets. These offsets allow the plant to form a dense mat over time, creating a stunning ground cover that seems to capture and radiate the sun's glow. Whether planted in a sunny rock garden, used as a border, or featured in a succulent arrangement, Sempervivum 'Sonnenkuss' is a true testament to the enduring beauty and resilience of nature.

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!
