Sempervivum 'Hurricane': Cobwebbed Rosettes for Outdoors
Sempervivum 'Hurricane' makes a low cluster of rosettes with fine, cobweb-like threads across the leaves. It is a natural fit for outdoor rock gardens and gritty container displays.
- 🕸️ Natural webbing: Fine plant hairs create the cobweb effect.
- 🌱 Hens and chicks: Offsets grow around established rosettes.
- 🌸 Rosette life cycle: A rosette dies after flowering, while its offsets continue the clump.
Plant 'Hurricane' where good light and excellent drainage let its compact rosettes shine.
Care Tips
Light: Choose an open, sunny outdoor position; introduce stronger sun gradually.
Water: Water when the soil has dried, especially while plants establish. Reduce supplemental watering in cool or rainy weather and avoid wet crowns.
Soil: Use lean, gritty soil with excellent drainage. Avoid rich, moisture-retentive mixes.
Temperature: A hardy outdoor houseleek. Shelter containers from prolonged winter wet rather than keeping them in a warm, dim room.

Care Instructions
Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.
To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.
Allow the soil to dry to the level recommended in the Care Tips above before watering again. Always drain excess water.
Weather Conditions
- When ordering, be mindful that living succulents can freeze. If you live in an area that is below 40°F, please consider purchasing plant until the weather is more suitable.
