Sempervivum 'Cornelia'

Cornelia Houseleek: Small Green Rosettes with Red Blush

Sempervivum 'Cornelia' forms petite green rosettes that can blush red. Fine white hairs along the leaf margins add detail as offsets gradually build a cluster.

• 🌿 Petite rosettes: Small fleshy leaves make a close, rounded pattern.
• 🎨 Seasonal color: Red tones vary with exposure and season.
• 🌱 Hens and chicks: Offsets can form around established rosettes.

Choose Cornelia for an outdoor trough or rock garden where its small rosettes can spread.

Care Tips

Light: Provide ample outdoor light with sun. Give afternoon relief in very hot climates.

Water: Water as the soil dries while establishing, then avoid frequent irrigation and standing water. Protect from persistent winter wetness.

Soil: Use a gritty, sharply draining mix or well-drained garden soil.

Temperature: A cold-hardy outdoor houseleek. Protect containers from extreme freeze-thaw cycles and winter saturation.

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.
• Shipping Warmer: 72+ Hours Heat Packs available at my store for $2.00 each
