Description
Sempervivum arachnoideum, commonly known as cobweb houseleek, is a unique succulent, admired for its distinctive appearance. The plant forms rosettes of fleshy leaves, often covered in fine, white, web-like hairs, resembling a spider's web. The foliage color can vary from green to red, adding to its visual appeal. Sempervivum arachnoideum is a hardy succulent, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, making it perfect for rock gardens, containers, and alpine settings.
