With its wonderful textures and colors, the Sempervivum is a very interesting succulent plant, thanks to its drought tolerance and ease to grow. This plant is also known as 'hens and chicks' as the 'mother' plant will produce many 'babies'. They're perfect for edging, containers and rock gardens!
I am unsure of the exact cultivar of this variety. It could either be "Desert Bloom" or "Purple Mojo" or even "Purple Parfait."
You will receive the succulent as pictured here. Succulents make great gifts for amateur, casual gardeners as well as green thumbs!
Echeveria is a plant genus of about 150 species of ornamental garden plants in the stonecrop family (Crassulaceae). They are typically rose-shaped with broad fleshy leaves with waxy, velvety, or powdery surfaces and are often iridescent, sometimes red-edged when exposed to sunlight. Echeverias are popular among collectors for their compact symmetrical leaf rosettes, prominent stalked inflorescence (flower cluster), and variety of colors and sizes.
👩🌾 CARE

• Flowering: In winter to early spring, it produces dark pink bell-shaped flowers
• Choose a highly porous soil (not compost or wood) such as one that contains pumice, zeolite, and perlite
• Make sure they get good air circulation, such as from wind or a fan
