Sempervivum 'Silverine': Large Pale Silver Rosettes with Deep Pink Flowers

Sempervivum 'Silverine'

Exceptionally large and pale, Sempervivum 'Silverine' forms rosettes up to 5–6 inches across in a beautiful silver-gray. In summer, flat clusters of deep pink flowers rise above the foliage—a striking combination of cool silver and warm pink. Perfect for rock gardens, containers, and desert plantings where a large, showy sempervivum is desired.

Large Silver Rosettes

The rosettes are notably large (5–6 inches) and a uniform, pale silver-gray—almost luminous in sunlight. The leaves are broad and slightly cupped. Summer brings flat-topped clusters of deep pink, star-shaped flowers on 6–10 inch stems. The silver-pink combination is elegant and showy. Offsets form, but the large rosettes mean fewer per area.

Growing Requirements

• Light: Full sun.
• Height: Rosettes 4–6 inches; flowers to 10 inches (2 feet or less).
• Spread: 8–16 inches.
• Soil: Very well-drained, gritty.
• Water: Low. Drought-tolerant.

Design Applications

The large silver rosettes make a bold specimen in containers and rock gardens. The pink flowers are a bonus. Pair with dark purple aeoniums, black mondo grass, or red-tipped sempervivums. Excellent as a focal point in succulent bowls and trough gardens.
