Sempervivum 'Jade Rose': Rosy-Flushed Rosettes with White Hairs

Sempervivum 'Jade Rose'

Subtle and sophisticated, Sempervivum 'Jade Rose' features succulent leaves flushed with rosy red, edged with tiny white hairs (cilia) that catch the light. The rosettes are 3–4 inches across, open in form, and multiply to form a colony. Perfect for rock gardens, containers, and desert plantings where delicate detail is appreciated.

Delicate Details

The leaves are a jade green base, heavily flushed with rosy red—especially at the tips and margins. Fine white cilia line the leaf edges, creating a delicate fringe that glitters in sunlight. The overall effect is soft and luminous. Offsets form readily. Mature rosettes may produce pink flowers in summer. The combination of rosy flush and white cilia is distinctive.

Growing Requirements

• Light: Full sun. Best color in full sun.
• Height: 3–6 inches (2 feet or less).
• Spread: 6–12 inches (colonizing).
• Soil: Very well-drained, gritty.
• Water: Low. Drought-tolerant.

Garden Applications

Beautiful in rock gardens, succulent bowls, and container arrangements where the fine details can be seen. The white cilia are especially striking when backlit. Pair with smooth-leaved, dark succulents for contrast. Excellent in trough gardens and fairy gardens.
