Sempervivum 'Maria Laach'

Description Light/Soil/Water Hardiness  Sempervivum ‘Maria Laach’ is a medium-sized rosette with rich, dramatic colors. The outer leaves show deep purple and chestnut brown tones, while the center stays bright green, creating a strong contrast. As temperatures drop, the entire rosette can turn a bold purple in winter, making it especially striking in colder months.                                                                                                                                                               This variety grows most actively in spring and summer and produces many offsets, or “chicks,” around the base. Over time, these spread to form a dense, tidy cluster. Mature rosettes may send up a tall flower stalk in summer. It is very easy to propagate by separating the chicks and replanting them, allowing the plant to expand quickly.   Filtered / Partial Sun, Full Sun.                                                                                                            Gritty, well-draining soil is essential. Use a cactus and succulent mix with 70%-80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water infrequently. Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Avoid letting water sit in the rosette to prevent rot. Zone 5-10
